of age and older. Symptoms treated effectively were sneezing,
rhinorrhea, itchy nose/palate/throat, itchy/watery/red eyes.
Allegra is formulated as a capsule or tablet
for oral administration. Allegra is usually taken twice a
day, in the morning and the evening. Follow your doctor's
instructions. Take each dose with a full glass of water.
Do not take Allegra if you have ever had
an allergic reaction to it. Before taking this medication,
tell your doctor if you have any serious illness such as heart,
kidney, or liver disease. You may require a dosage adjustment
or special monitoring during treatment if you have other illnesses.
Allegra is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that
it is not known whether Allegra will harm an unborn baby.
Do not take this medication without first talking to your
doctor if you are pregnant. It is also not known whether Allegra
passes into breast milk. Do not take Allegra without first
talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Allegra
is not approved for use by children younger than 6 years of
age.
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you
remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the
missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not
"double-up" the dose to catch up.
Stop taking Allegra and seek emergency
medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty
breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue,
or face; or hives). Allergic reactions occur only rarely,
and other serious side effects are not likely to occur. Some
less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue
to take Allegra and talk to your doctor if you experience
nausea or an upset stomach. Side effects other than those
listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any
side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
Store Allegra capsules and tablets at controlled
room temperature 20-25?C (68-77?F). Foil-backed blister packs
containing Allegra capsules and all tablet packaging should
be protected from excessive moisture.
Symptoms and signs of Allegra overdose
are: dizziness, drowsiness, and dry mouth. Seek emergency
medical attention.
Tell your doctor of all nonprescription
and prescription medication you may use, especially: MAO inhibitors,
certain blood pressure drugs, digoxin, and all adrenaline-like
drugs. Report other drugs which affect the heart rhythm. Ask
your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Check the labels
carefully on all nonprescription products, such as cough-and-cold
medicines that contain antihistamines and decongestants. Consult
your pharmacist. Do not take Allegra for several days before
any allergy testing since test results can be affected. Do
not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist
approval.
