Allegra is allergy symptom relief medication that belongs to a class called non-sedating antihistamines. It is targeted for treating people who have seasonal allergies, also known as hayfever.
Allegra provides fast and lasting relief for seasonal allergy symptoms such as:
- sneezing
- runny nose
- itchy, watery eyes
Allergy symptoms are triggered by allergens. Seasonal allergens can include such things as:
- tree pollen in the spring
- grass pollen in the summer
- weed pollen in the late summer/early fall
- outdoor mold spores
Some people suffer from allergies all year round. This can typically happen in climates with a very long growing season, such as the Deep South. This can also occur in individuals who are allergic to indoor-type allergens, such as indoor mold spores, pet dander and dust mites.
In general, the best thing to do is to avoid the allergens that trigger the symptoms in the first place. However, because of lifestyle or practicality, these allergens cannot always be avoided. No one wants to live in a plastic bubble. Allegra helps block these allergens in order for people to do whatever they want to do or go wherever they want to go.
