For Allergic Rhinitis "I was prescribed Allegra after years of using Sudafed over the counter, believing that my sinuses were the problem. My GP and I finally managed to figure out that the problem was allergic rhinitis. I take 180 mg on a daily basis, and since I've been taking it, I don't suffer with too much blockage and congestion. However, I have gained weight since taking this daily. I am doing a trial run of going without Allegra and also Cerazette to see whether bloating goes down. It's brilliant for my allergies without a doubt, the pros outweigh the cons. However, I cannot continue gaining weight. Within 6 months of taking these alongside Cerazette daily, I have gained 1 st. I am trying to find a new alternative, although this has worked brilliantly."

For Urticaria "This is really a question rather than a comment. The question is for 'Trac,' who was going to post the results of his treatment. It was a while ago, May 5, 2018. I am interested to know how and if it was treated. Thanks!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I've suffered from allergies for years, but all other allergy medications either make me very drowsy or don't work well. With Allegra, I have NO side effects and feel 100% better after taking it. I am so glad that I finally found something that really works for me!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "Not the first time I've used Allegra. It works, but if you smoke, it might not work as well. Smoking gives me more allergy symptoms, so Allegra is just not enough usually. Combined with Otrivine (as prescribed by my doctor), it does the trick, though. Never had any side effects, so there is that."

For Allergic Rhinitis "It works great! My nose is like 98% of the time clear, just some sniffles every now and then when it's windy. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a stronger stomach (as it caused me to go to the toilet more often as a side effect) than me. Hardly any fiber in my diet, I'm trying to change that."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I started having horrible allergy/sinus problems in April of this year. I was having horrible migraine-like sinus headaches every single day. I tried everything: Benadryl, Tylenol Sinus & Congestion, Sudafed PE, Advil Sinus & Cold, prescription Claritin, and a whole lot of natural remedies such as apple cider vinegar (horrible taste, ugh) and cayenne pepper. Then the doctor gave me Allegra D-24 hour, and I was cured within an hour! It was amazing! I recently ran out, and on day 2, my horrible headaches were back. I went to the doctor, and she refilled my Allegra D-24 hour, and I was feeling normal again in an hour! I highly recommend this! (The Allegra D-12 hour did not work for me, only the 24-hour version.)"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I started Allegra-D 12 hour in 1999 for allergies that left me with migraines and a neck so stiff that I could barely turn my head. Allegra-D 12 hour was a miracle, and one tablet a day brought me back to fully functional. It worked great for 15 years. But in the summer of 2015, something changed. I would get a box that didn't work as well, then a box that worked just fine. I emailed the manufacturer to ask if they had changed binders or fillers that might make it harder to metabolize the active ingredients. Of course, they said 'no'. Since the summer of 2015, Allegra-D has been about as effective as taking a sugar pill. Don't waste your money. Email the company, demand they go back to the old formulation."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I’ve taken Allegra for seasonal allergies and urticaria. There were four separate occasions where I used it, and each time, unfortunately, made no difference for me. This was my attempted try, and I took it about six hours ago, still no relief. I won’t be using Allegra again."

For Urticaria "I have had chronic hives for 7 years now. I have tried everything. I am on Singulair and Blexten once a day but have to go on prednisone every second week. I tried Allegra for my hives, taking 3 pills once a day, but it has done nothing for me. I wish someone could give me a cure."

For Allergic Rhinitis "My 2-year-old had been suffering from indoor and outdoor allergies since she was 9 months old. We found Allegra suspension, and it works quite well along with her taking Singulair. If she misses a few doses, we can tell; her eyes itch and she gets congested. Just started to find the suspension in a larger bottle, so this keeps us from running out. Thanks!"

For Allergic Rhinitis "I used to take Seldane (worked great) until they took it off of the market and replaced it with Allegra. A 180 mg dose of Allegra (NOT Allegra-D) does not provide all-day relief if I spend extended time outdoors during allergy season. However, a 240 mg dose works great. A 240 mg dose is one 180 mg tablet (once daily) at the start of the day plus one 60 mg tablet (12-hour product) before going outside."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Allegra is really good at working for hay fever, but I have been using antidepressants for about two years, and I am having some sleeping problems now. Using Allegra is making it hard to get to sleep early."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Allegra is the only allergy medicine that helps me. Other prescription or over-the-counter medicines just seem to mask the problem, and they do not even do it that well for me. My insurance company (Aetna) stopped covering it last year, and I decided to use other brands because of the price of Allegra. Next year I think I'll pay the money for the Allegra."

For Urticaria "I’m 54, have been suffering with chronic hives since I was 9 (1979). I’ve had tests done and biopsies done and nothing. Chemotherapy was supposed to knock it out and did for a while but came back. Benadryl did not help at all. I heard about Allegra and tried it. Within an hour, I felt so much better but had breakthrough hives. I also suffer from anaphylaxis shock. If they get on my lip, I assure you, it’s headed towards my throat. I got one on my lip after I had taken Allegra, but it quickly went away. So very thankful for this medication. I’m also required to carry an EpiPen in case of emergencies."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Good so far. This is my first use of the 180 mg tablet. Since this has been a mild winter, I have been fighting allergies and bronchitis for months. Tussionex and Cheratussin, neither one worked. I'm still coughing, but not as much. The only problem is, I can't go to sleep at night."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Allegra has done the trick for me for years. My only disappointment is the expense of the 12-hour dosage now that my insurance company doesn't cover it anymore. It's a better deal to purchase the 24-hour dose, but I don't like taking a higher dose of medication if it isn't necessary."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I started taking it in May 2021 and sometimes with montelukast for sinusitis, but it did not work. Whenever I tried stopping it since the last 3/4 months, I have serious bronchospasms and breathing difficulty. I don't know what to do, so I break down the 180 mg pill into 3 pieces and take two with a 6-hour difference. Before, spasms started at 4 pm, but now it is all times. I am stuck and don't know what to do to taper it off. Is there any help anywhere on how to stop its withdrawal symptoms? I stopped montelukast, and it didn't cause any issue. I had gastritis or swelling in my stomach after I took a short period of low-dose prednisone and in April a common antibiotic and 2 weeks of aspirin. I started fexofenadine/Allegra, but it didn't help me much. I have been only taking it to not have withdrawal syndromes. I wish someone could share their experience on how to stop it. Thanks for reading."

For Allergic Rhinitis "Works much better than other over-the-counter medicines. My allergy came back this time of the year, and this year got worse. My sneezing won't stop, even to the point I get a nosebleed. So I tried Allegra, it did suppress all the sneezing for hours, however, my nose is still somewhat congested. When they mean 'non-drowsy,' they really mean it. I took other over-the-counter allergy medicines before, which they listed as 'non-drowsy,' but I constantly found myself falling asleep every now and then."

For Allergic Rhinitis "I love this stuff. I take one at bedtime. When I have my coffee in the morning, I can feel my ears drain. Thick mucus is easily coughed up. It used to be all stuck with sinus pain and pressure. I give it a 10! And my eyes are not itchy!"

For Urticaria "I never write reviews, but have to for this. I have been suffering for the last two days with an awful outbreak of hives in large areas all over my body. I haven't been able to sleep for two nights and barely able to work. About an hour ago, I picked up Allegra Hives 24 and took one pill. The itching is completely gone, and the hives have faded and are disappearing. Not sure yet of any side effects, but could not be as awful as this outbreak. The product has been a lifesaver for me - I have this reaction to bug bites from time to time, and this will always be available in my home from now on."

"This year has been the absolute worst for me. My allergies are ridiculous. The sneezing and itchy throat are my biggest issues. I am now using Allegra D every 12 hours. I am going to try adding the regular Allegra for 24 hours as well. Just can't take it anymore. Hoping this year is not repeated."
