Allegra - any side effects???????

[Pembo]

I started taking this about 4 weeks ago. While I do feel like I'm breathing better, I'm still "sick". I did a little search this morning and am wondering if anyone here has had bad side effects?!

Seeing the dr this afternoon.

Pembo, Do a search on www.webmd.com for allegra.

Been taking it over a year now. No problems at all. I take it at night before I go to bed.

I've been taking it for awhile and have no bad side effects. It doesn't get in the way of my work outs either!

Good luck with it!

I've been taking it for about six months now with no problems. It, along with my inhaler, keeps my asthma under control.

Yeah.....sneezing. I do better without it. I guess it's back to Claritin.

I can't take Allegra or Claritin. They make me drowsy. How bout Zrytec? That's the one I can actually take without too much drowsiness.

Allegra made me dizzy and gave me flu-like symptoms. I can't take that any more, so I take zyrtec instead.

It gave my son headaches

I take Allegra D twice a day and have no problems. I tried Zyrtec and is KNOCKED ME OUT!!!!

I have used allegra D and DS 14 uses allegra 180 daily. I read your other posts about your sinus. Have you tried rhinocort. Its a nasal spray. DS hates to use it because it stings but I have tried it and it helps to alleviate some of the nasal symptons causing the huge sinus jam up.

 

[Pembo]

Haven't tried rhinocort.

Doctor has me taking Nasalcrel spray once a day. It does clear things up.

I'm convinced that this Allegra is the cause of other probs. Seeing the dr today.

Anyone else?

Are you on Allegra or Allegra-D? The Allegra-D has a decongestant that can help clear you up. I've been on both & have done fine, but there are times when I need the Allegra-D rather than regular Allegra.
