Allergy Medicine

Allergy medicine, also known as antihistamines, is a type of over-the-counter or prescription medication designed to alleviate allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. These medications work by blocking the release of histamine, a compound produced by the body in response to allergens, which causes the symptoms commonly associated with allergies. Popular allergy medicines include cetirizine, loratadine, and fexofenadine, among others. For many individuals, allergy medicine is an essential part of daily life, helping to prevent and manage seasonal allergies or reactions to specific allergens like pet dander and dust mites. When using allergy medicine, it is important to follow the recommended dosing guidelines and consult with a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen.
