A member asked:

I am a patient who receives, at times, weekly allergy shots. daily qnasl and zyrtec (cetirizine) are not giving me relief. is it safe for me to add more meds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allergies: It all depends if they are being prescribed and monitored by the provider who is treating your allergies. Make sure you consult them first before taking any medication. Sometimes people with severe allergies require few meds at once but only under a doctor's guidance.
