Dr. John Chiu answered

Up to 4x/day: Since you did not provide any info on your condition, the answer can only be a general one. Do note that antihistamine alone does not provide decongesting effect if you have nasal congestion for which a nasal steroid or nasal antihistamine will likely work far better.

Dr Rosenfeld and another doctor agreed
