Allegra refers to the antihistamine drugs which are used to relieve the allergy symptoms such as itchy, watery, red eyes, sneezing and runny or itchy nose. These symptoms are common for fall and spring seasons, but may occur in any time of the year, as well.

To avoid any unpleasant side effects and to make the treatment with Allegra as safe as possible you should tell your physician about any serious illnesses you have ever had. They include liver disease, kidney or heart problems. Also inform your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs. Avoid taking Allegra if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are breast-feeding a child. It is not known how it will effect the unborn child. Do not give Allegra to children under 6 years old.

Usually Allegra side effects are mild and may go away with time. However, if you notice the persistence of such side effects as difficulty breathing, closing of the throat, lips, tongue or face stop taking the drug and inform your health care provider. In fact these side effects are rare. Nausea and stomach pain can be experienced more frequently, but if they are mild do not stop taking Allegra. As a rule they go away in a short period of time.
