How Taken
Allegra relieves allergy symptoms by blocking the effect of histamines. Histamines are chemicals in your body that cause allergy symptoms.
Missed Dose
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.
Dosage
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.
Storage
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.
Possible Side Effects
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.
