How to take Allegra-D

Take allegra-D by mouth on an empty stomach 1 hour before or two hours after meals as directed, usually twice daily.

Taking allegra-D with a high fat meal can decrease its effectiveness.

Do not take antacids containing aluminum and magnesium within 2 hours of taking allegra-D. Swallow whole. Do not crush or chew the tablets, and do not take more allegra-D than prescribed.

Allegra-D Side effects

Side effects of allegra-D can include Nausea, stomach upset, trouble sleeping, headache, or cold symptoms. If these persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Unlikely but report promptly: dizziness, mental/mood changes, fast heartbeat, fever. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: fainting, irregular heartbeat. Although drowsiness is very uncommon at usual allegra-D doses under normal circumstances, be aware that drowsiness may occur and may effect the ability to perform tasks requiring alertness (e.g., driving). If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions

Tell your doctor your medical history, including: allergies, kidney/urinary problems, enlarged prostate, glaucoma (narrow angle), severe high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, thyroid problems (hyperthyroid). Limit alcohol intake, as it may aggravate drug side effects. Allegra-D should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. The pseudoephedrine in allegra-D is excreted into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Caution is advised when Allegra-D is used in the elderly since this group may be more sensitive to side effects.

Drug Interactions

Tell your doctor of all nonprescription and prescription medication you may use, especially: MAO inhibitors (e.g., selegiline, furazolidone, phenelzine, tranylcypromine, moclobemide, procarbazine, linezolid), certain blood pressure drugs (e.g., methyldopa, mecamylamine, reserpine, prazosin), digoxin, all adrenaline-like drugs. Report other drugs which affect the heart rhythm (QTc prolongation), such as: dofetilide, pimozide, quinidine, sotalol, procainamide, sparfloxacin, "water pills" (diuretics such as furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide). Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Check the labels carefully on all nonprescription products, such as cough-and-cold medicines which contain antihistamines and decongestants. Consult your pharmacist. Do not take this medication for several days before any allergy testing since test results can be affected. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.

Missed dose

If a dose of allegra-D is missed, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose of allegra-D to catch up.
