A member asked:

Which is the best allergy pill if you have an allergy to cats?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allegra (fexofenadine) or Zyrtec: Either works fine, some individuals have a preference for one over the other. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is slightly sedating, you may want to take before bedtime.
