A member asked:

I have heavy seasonal allergies. what is a good combination of drugs to take? im on zyrtec (cetirizine) and zetonna and they are helping, but it is still bad.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Immunotherapy: Allergy shots will work much sooner than that. We hope we achieve a "cure" in 3-5 years but symptomatic relief should begin within a few months. We do not start grass allergy patients on shots during the grass season at our practice.
