About Allegra-D
Most people have suffered common colds and flu and for many, the most beautiful times of the year are spent not out enjoying sunshine and warm, fresh air, but indoors, sniffling, sneezing and feeling ill. These are hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, sufferers.
Allegra-D is an antihistamine and decongestant combination used to relieve congestion, sneezing, and watery eyes due to colds, flu, or hay fever.
How to use Allegra-D
Take this medication by mouth on an empty stomach 1 hour before or two hours after meals as directed, usually twice daily. Taking this medicine with a high fat meal can decrease its effectiveness. Do not take antacids containing aluminum and magnesium within 2 hours of taking this medication. Swallow the medicine whole. Do not crush or chew the tablet, and do not take more than prescribed. Do not take this product within 14 days after stopping an MAO Inhibitor (see Drug Interactions).
Allegra-D Side Effects
Nausea, stomach upset, trouble sleeping, headache, or cold symptoms may occur. If these persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Unlikely but report promptly: dizziness, mental/mood changes, fast heartbeat, fever. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: fainting, irregular heartbeat. Although drowsiness is very uncommon at usual doses under normal circumstances, be aware that drowsiness may occur and may effect the ability to perfom tasks requiring alertness (e.g., driving). If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Contraindications
ALLEGRA-D is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.
Due to its pseudoephedrine component, ALLEGRA-D is contraindicated in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma or urinary retention, and in patients receiving monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor therapy or within fourteen (14) days of stopping such treatment (see Drug Interactions section). It is also contraindicated in patients with severe hypertension, or severe coronary artery disease, and in those who have shown hypersensitivity or idiosyncrasy to its components, to adrenergic agents, or to other drugs of similar chemical structures. Manifestations of patient idiosyncrasy to adrenergic agents include: insomnia, dizziness, weakness, tremor, or arrhythmias.
