What should you keep in mind when choosing pills to manage your allergies?
If you are prone to seasonal allergy symptoms, it's recommended that you start taking allergy medication two weeks before you anticipate your symptoms starting.
When choosing an over-the-counter pill for your allergies, you need to consider your symptoms, any other medications you take and if you need a non-drowsy allergy solution, as drowsiness is one of the major side effects of some antihistamines. It is important to read all medication labels and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your medication regimen before you start taking any allergy medication.
