Yes: Allegra has little or no sedating effects. However any AH can be taken with asthma and control of nasal symptoms may potentially improve asthma as well.

Am thinking I may be allergic to our English bulldog. Which is the safest/most effective Rx or OTC antihistamine that's least likely to cause drowsiness and can be used daily? Zyrtec claims to be non-drowsy, but it makes me very sleepy?
