BENEFITS OF ALLEGRA TABLET

In Treatment of Allergic conditions

During seasonal allergic conditions, the body releases a chemical substance called histamine. This chemical causes symptoms such as blocked or runny nose, sneezing, and itchy or watery eyes. Allegra 180mg Tablet works to relieve these symptoms by preventing the release of this chemical. It is used to treat seasonal allergic conditions like the common cold, hay fever, sinusitis, conjunctivitis, and skin allergies like urticaria (hives).

The doctor will consider the age, body weight, and how severe the allergic condition is before prescribing the treatment. Do not alter the dose or abruptly stop the medicine by yourself as it may render the treatment ineffective and cause side effects. Along with this medicine following some self-care measures such as avoidance of allergen exposure and hygiene maintenance may help your child recover fast.
