A member asked:
How long does it take antihistamines to get out of your system? i was told not to take any for 1 week, but inadvertently did. is 5 days enough time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: most antihistamines clear within 2 -3 days or less, 1 week is a precautionary measure to make sure that your system is clear, that's mainly if you are going to be skin tested for allergies to either drugs, inhalants (such pollens), or foods extracts
