Allegra D Drug Information
The following information is
intended to supplement, not substitute for, the expertise and
judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare
professional. It should not be construed to indicate that use of
the drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult
your healthcare professional before using this drug.
Online Allegra D Use Indication:
Allegra D
medication contains an antihistamine and decongestant used to
relieve allergy symptoms such as itchy red eyes, stuffy nose and
throat irritation. Take this medication by mouth on an empty
stomach 1 hour before or two hours after meals as directed,
usually twice daily. Taking this medicine with a high fat meal
can decrease its effectiveness. Do not take antacids containing
aluminum and magnesium within 2 hours of taking Allegra D

tablet, and do not take more than prescribed. Do not take this
product within 14 days after stopping an MAO Inhibitor (see Drug
Interactions).
Allegra D Side Effects:
Nausea,
stomach upset, trouble sleeping, headache, or cold symptoms may
occur. 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 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

thyroid problems (hyperthyroid). Limit alcohol intake, as it may
aggravate drug side effects. Allegra D medication should be used
only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and
benefits with your doctor. The pseudoephedrine in this product

side effects.

procarbazine, linezolid), certain blood pressure drugs (e.g.,
methyldopa, mecamylamine, reserpine, prazosin), digoxin, all

decongestants. Consult your pharmacist. Do not take Allegra D

test results can be affected. Do not start or stop any medicine
