Best Allergy Medicine Online

The answer to this question depends on your symptoms and on the remedies’ side effects that you want to avoid. 

Cetirizine and Fexofenadine have similar efficacy and side effects. Certizine, however, provides faster relief -- it works within one hour after taking it while Fexofenadine works within two hours. Besides that, Cetirizine has proven to be more effective relieving symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Diphenhydramine, on the other hand, often causes side effects such as tiredness and drowsiness. It is powerful when it comes to addressing the symptoms, but we don’t recommend taking it during the day.

Phenylephrine is strictly a nasal decongestant. Therefore, it is a great alternative for people who have nasal congestion as the main symptom of the allergic reaction.

Some allergy medications are safe to be combined.

In general, you can use an over-the-counter antihistamine (the first three medicines on this list) with a decongestant (phenylephrine). That’s if you have no conflicting medical conditions.

However, it is not always safe to take two oral antihistamine medications in one day. For example, you don’t want to take a Cetirizine in the morning and a Xyzal or Flonase in the afternoon. 

If you want to be on the safe side, go with the Non-Drowsy Allergy Relief Kit. This kit was developed by professionals thinking about all your allergy needs as a whole. It comes with easy-to-follow instructions about dosage and meds combinations.

Even though some allergic reactions have serious symptoms, the majority of allergies are mild and the symptoms look like the cold’s symptoms. 

The most common include:

1. Sneezing
2. Itchy, runny, or blocked nose
3. Shortness of breath and a cough
4. Watery, red, or itchy eyes
5. Itchy and red rash 

If you feel a couple of these symptoms combined for extended periods of time, you likely have an allergy -- not a cold.

The most common side effects of allergy medicines include drowsiness and dizziness. But I get that many daily activities such as driving, working, and studying require you to be alert and focused.

The good news is that there are few remedies that are less likely to have side effects. These include Fexofenadine and Cetirizine.

Even though Diphenhydramine is one of the most effective medicines, it tends to have stronger side effects. Phenylephrine doesn’t cause drowsiness but it may elevate your blood pressure.

Antihistamines are generally safe to be taken daily for a short period of time. However, it is not recommended that you take them every day in the long-term. That’s because your body might develop a resistance to the effects of the medicine. To avoid that, you might want to alternate your allergy medicines with an allergy nasal spray like Nasacort, depending on your symptoms.

If your allergy tends to bother you for long periods of time, we recommend that you investigate what triggers your allergies. The allergen might be something that you can avoid having contact with, such as a specific type of tree or pet. You might need to consult an allergist for that.

Antihistamines are generally safe for most patients. Decongestants are not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure. That’s because they relieve nasal stuffiness by narrowing blood vessels and reducing swelling in the nose. This process can affect other blood vessels as well, which can increase blood pressure.

Older antihistamines, such as Diphenhydramine are not recommended for individuals who have prostate problems or glaucoma.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before using allergy medications.

Besides that, most people can take OTC allergy medications with no problems.
