The Added Burden of Seasonal Allergies

Allergies and Impairment

Many patients with seasonal allergies claim they feel slow or drowsy (and this is before they are given medication).

These patients are impaired by their allergies. Uncontrolled seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms can be impairing to a child and may result in:

Irritability/tiredness
Limited activities
Missed days at school (and for parents, missed days at work)
Disturbed sleep
Daytime fatigue

You can’t afford to be impaired or sedated by your allergies. That’s why it’s important that you take your medication as prescribed by your doctor. Taking Allegra as prescribed can reduce your seasonal allergy symptoms and minimize suffering without making you impaired or drowsy.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Side effects with Allegra 180 mg for seasonal allergies are low and may include headache, cold, or backache.

Side effects with Allegra 60 mg for seasonal allergies are low; less than 3% of people experience cold or flu, nausea, menstrual pain, or drowsiness.

Side effects with Allegra 60 mg for hives are low and may include backache, sinusitis, dizziness, or drowsiness.

Side effects with Allegra 30 mg are low and may include headache, cold, coughing, or accidental injury.

Side effects with Allegra-D 12 Hour and Allegra-D 24 Hour were similar to Allegra 60 mg alone (headache, insomnia or nausea) and Allegra 180 mg alone (headache, cold or backache) respectively. Due to the decongestant (pseudoephedrine) component in both Allegra-D 12 Hour and Allegra-D 24 Hour, these products must not be used if you: are taking an MAO inhibitor (a medication for depression) or have stopped taking an MAO inhibitor within 14 days; retain urine; have narrow-angle glaucoma; have severe high blood pressure or severe heart disease. Side effects with pseudoephedrine may include nervousness, restlessness, dizziness, or insomnia. Headache, drowsiness, increased heart rate, palpitations, increased blood pressure, and abnormal heart rhythms have been reported. You should also tell your doctor if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, glaucoma, thyroid disease, impaired kidney function, or symptoms of an enlarged prostate such as difficulty urinating.

Side effects with Allegra Oral Suspension 30mg/5mL (6mg/mL) are low and may include vomiting, fever, cough, otitis media and diarrhea.
