Combination Allergy Drugs

In the war on allergies, there are times when you're going to need a coalition in order to deal with the onslaught of symptoms, times when just an antihistamine isn't enough for the job. These are times that call for combination allergy drugs.

Allergy-related congestion: For times when you are suffering from rather substantial congestion due to allergies, there are drugs available that pair up an antihistamine with a decongestant. T6he one-two punch is generally able to knock out a wider range of head problems associated with more severe allergies. When looking for an antihistamine/decongestant, look for your favorite antihistamine with a "-D" after it, such as Alavert-D, Aldex-D, Allegra-D, and Zyrtec-D. Please contact your doctor before using these, as decongestants aren't right for everyone (and stronger incarnations of these are generally going to be prescription only).

Allergy-related headache: We've all had them; allergy headaches. Be they from sneezing a few thousand times too many or from sinus pressure, you're in need of an antihistamine and an analgesic. Fortunately, companies like Tylenol have heard your quiet groans for relief and created drugs like Tylenol Allergy and Sinus (something I've been using this week to decent success).

As always, check with your licensed allergy specialist before changing your allergy regiment.
