A member asked:
My doctor told me not to take antihistamines before allergy test but i've been taking nasonex (mometasone) and otrivin decongestant is that ok?

Okay: A number of medications should be discontinued prior to allergy skin testing. Steroid nasal sprays like nasonex (mometasone) may be continued. Otrivine is a nasal decongestant which should only be used for temporary relief of symptoms may be continued. Escitalopram and inhalers and nebulizers may be continued.
