Brands > Allegra

Highly effective for dealing with seasonal allergies, pet allergies, etc.

My doctor prescribed this to me after I had been taking a few over-the-counter meds that hadn't done the job. Allegra was a little slow to work but worked well and relieved my seasonal allergies quite well. I also felt no side affects from using it.

Several months ago my doctor prescribed Allegra for when my allergies acted up. When I get a runny nose I take it. Within a short while the runny nose stops and I avoid getting the cough that usually follows. It works very well for this. It’s great for 24 hours too.

I also use it before flying. In the past, I often came down with some sort of cold after taking a trip aboard a plane. Taking Allegra before a flight solved the problem. I love it!

I took Allegra for a couple of years as I was able to obtain samples of it from my doctor (I'm on a low income).

I always had problems with a lot of the allergy medications making me feel jittery and wierd. This was especially true for Benadryl. I really like Allegra because I did not have any side effects at all and it worked very well for my allergies.

My allergies include hay fever and cat dander. Symptoms include itchy red eyes, sneezing, and some times a chronic cough. Allegra solved all those problems.

I would still be taking it, but I am unable to get the samples now and can't afford it.

I took this for hives and eczema. It worked wonderfully at first as all the symptoms disappeared for about 20 hours. I didn't get a timed release tablet, so maybe that may have made a difference in the duration of the relief. But 20 hours was good enough.

Unfortunately, I started to develop pain in my knees and elbow joints. It was gradual at first, but then it got much worse over the course of a week. I had to stop taking it because I couldn't climb up the stairs without pulling myself up with the handrail.

I was very sad to stop taking it because it worked so well otherwise. It took about 4 days to be able to walk up the stairs normally after I stopped taking it. I tried taking half a pill but the very same thing happened.

I took this to help with seasonal and pet allergies. I am allergic to pet dander and pollen, and this product seemed to curb most of the symptoms. The only problems I found with this was that it didn't work as well with prolonged exposure to pet dander. It may have been that I needed a higher dosage, but I was recommended to try a different prescription instead. I did not experience any side effects. I would recommend this to those who have light to mild allergies.

I had taken several other prescription allergy medications during my lifetime. I suffer from allergies relating to outdoor plants, especially oak pollen which is extremely heavy for many months where I live in the South. The only other medication that I had taken for any length of time caused kidney infections; most others offered me little or no relief. I began taking Allegra and had immediate positive results. While the recommended dosage was one tablet every 12 hours, I found that on days that I experienced my worst symptoms and knew that I would not be able to sleep, I took one tablet an hour before bedtime, and it lasted for nearly a full 24 hours. I was able to enjoy a great night's sleep and continue to breathe through the following work day. I have experienced no side-effects what so ever.

When pollen season comes Allegra is my best friend. It works. I stopped taking Claritin as it was not as effective and it made me drowsy.

I take it religiously at the same time that I take my vitamins.

I have really bad allergies, and I used Allegra for a period of time, but it really did not do a great job. I was able to control my allergies after a few weeks of taking the medicine by rotating between Allegra and Benadryl. I would take generic Benadryl at night and then take Allegra during the day.
In my opinion you just need to figure out exactly what medicine works best for you. I have tried most every brand possible, and Allegra didn't work great for me, but it might work better for someone else out there.

Allegra works great for me! I've used Claritin and Zyrtec in the past but still prefer Allegra. I always take advantage of the mail in rebate. With the mail in rebate, I can get my prescription cheaper than buying the OTC brands.

Allegra is the only allergy medication that works for me. It takes care of all of my symptoms, and I have noticed no known side effects.

Fortunately, I have moved away from areas with lots of pollutants and I rarely need this medication. However, it was a wonderful treatment for me while I was in high school and during hay fever season in college. Other allergy medicines made me extremely drowsy or hyperactive. Allegra, thankfully, did neither. It simply treated my allergy symptoms and made it possible for me to continue my day without blowing my nose every 5 minutes and sneezing every 10.

During my teenage years I began suffering from pollen and pet dander allergies. My symptoms, which included itchy eyes and frequent sneezing, made it extremely difficult to enjoy time outside or open the windows of my home during hay season. In addition, simply stepping foot inside a pet owner's home has become a significant nuisance, especially when considering that my best friend has many pets and therefore much pet dander.

Allegra is my one reprieve from these symptoms. I have tried other allergy medications, but none of them worked like Allegra does. My only side effect seems to be occasional bloody noses, but those have been easily dealt with and are much more tolerable than my allergy symptoms were.

Benefits:The treatment benefits included but were not limited to anti histamine blocker, decongestant, etc. I was sneezing, coughing, had laryngitis, allergy shiners, and could not sleep.
Side effects:There were side effects listed such as dizziness, nausea, hypertension etc. I did not expertise any of the ill side effects
I went to the doctor for the prescription. I went to the pharmacy to have the prescription filled. I took the prescribed dosage daily with a big glass of water. I took my dosage in the evening.

About three years ago my physician recommended Allegra 180 mg tablets taken once daily for an added help with my allergic asthma. Before taking Allegra, I tried practically every over-the-counter and some prescription medications to help with my itchy eyes and sneezing.

After a few days of taking the Allegra tablet each morning, the itchy eyes and sneezing stopped. Not only that, but there were no side effects of taking the medication that I could find.

After having been driven to an emergency visit at a clinic several times because of swollen eyes on a weekend morning, I have been free of the problem now for three years. I am very grateful that my doctor prescribed this Allegra for me. I has certainly changed my life.

This works well for my allergies. I have suffered from allergies most of my life and some seasons are worse than others. With Allegra, I am able to finally see! I used to get watery eyes so much before. I haven't really noticed any bad side effects just positive ones. I will definately continue taking this medication.

Allegra didn't do much for me. I found that my allergies were still just as bad as they were before. Claritin works much better for my than Allegra.

The first time I used Allegra was to help alleviate the symptoms of my cat allergies, since the woman I was dating at the time had a very long-haired cat. I had tried a couple of other allergy medications and nothing worked very well, but Allegra worked well enough for me to be able to spend time at her apartment.

I now use it seasonally, when tree and grass pollen allergies are at their worst. It takes the edge off the worst of my allergy symptoms.

I haven't experienced any significant side-effects from Allegra, except for some slight dry mouth.

If it wasn't for my Allegra, I wouldn't be able to even step foot out of my house without wheezing or itching. Before I got on Allegra, I was in the hospital at least a few times a year due to my asthma attacks. Allegra has helped me become more active and enjoy life in general.

Allegra worked fine for me, but switched to back to Claratin since I didn't have to deal with prescriptions and is somewhat cheaper.
