Allegra can be taken with or without food. A once-daily dose should be taken in the morning, for optimum relief throughout the day. Twice daily doses should be taken approximately 10 to 12 hours apart, during waking hours.
Missed Doses
If a dose of once-daily Allegra is missed by a few hours, take it as soon as remembered, and get back on schedule the next day. If on a twice-daily dosage routine, take a missed dose as soon as remembered and then get back on track with the next dose. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dosage. Never take a double dose in an attempt to play "catch up." Taking Allegra at regular times of day, say with breakfast, can help prevent missed dosages.
