A member asked:
Can someone be allergic to anti-histamines and what else can you take if an allergic reaction occurs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Occasionally yes: but not to all antihistamines, often times the allergy is to an inactive ingredient in the drug, but true allergy to antihistamines is there, rare though, if need be you can try 2nd or third generation antihitamine under your doctor's supervision, goo luck
