25-50 mg : every 4-6 hours, but not to exceed 300 mg in one day from all sources, and not to be combined with other antihistamines, or other medicines that would interact with antihistamines, as antidepressants. Read the labels carefully. Also you haven't defined your allergic reaction, is it mild or severe, only rash or you have a breathing problem, if so better see a doctor,go to ER or urgent care,goodluck
