Antihistamines

Hi does anyone take antihistamines for hay-fever that has Bronchiectasis just wondering if it's OK to take ?thanks

I had to leave it until last night to take the Fexofenadine so as to minimise mixing the two antihistamines. I also take Fostair inhaler and Dymista nasal spray, and my asthma seems well controlled on this. Thanks!

Do antihistamines work?

Comes and goes all day the only thing that helps is antihistamines. I haven't changed washing powder or antything. Thyroid is ok. What is it!!? It's too much to live with.

Hiya, I’ve googled whether antihistamines during pregnancy are ok and it seems pretty vague. A lot of “it seems to be ok” which isn’t too reassuring 😕 I’ve emailed my clinic but in the meantime… Has anyone been given a definite yay or nay to taking allergy pills during their 2WW? Xx

Hello lovely people I have 5 days worth of injections and finding bone pain in my back quite painful, the CNS recommends heat and paracetamol and I’ve found a few articles on using antihistamines, does anyone have any recommendations at all please? Thankyou X

I've tried H1 antihistamines (allergies/zyrtec) and upping the dosage but it doesn't seem to help enough! The itching is all over and the hives can last for minutes and some larger ones last for up to a week! (which I have heard is a sign it's an autoimmune hive??)

Antihistamines seem to be keeping my hay fever at bay (never had it before now!!) The last puzzle is to get my legs working, muscles are still quite weak, despite exercise.

That and antihistamines... Beautiful day tho and good to be out. A slow 4k done. Had to take a photo as I went past my hives. Lovely to see 'The Girls ' (no boys till later, the girls kick them put in the autumn) coming and going. Happy running vrbs.

It is a horrible feeling you feel so bad and it takes hours to wear off antihistamines don’t help.

has resulted in a prescription for antihistamines and a cream. I have read that antihistamines are not effective in treating 'kidney itch' and with a young child who suffers with eczema I must so far have tried every cream known to man.

Has anyone tried antihistamines for discoid lupus? The itchy circular rash that appears on the face and scalp and neck?

i was told I had an allergic reaction to something which I don’t know what it could be by doctor at the hospital and told to take Antihistamines. I have been taking 4 tablets a day for three days now but my skin hasn’t improved that much on my arms and back where it is.

I am badly affected and am considering taking Antihistamines or similar prior to coming into contact (Christmas etc will be a problem). Any recommendations for pet allergy Antihistamines or similar? Not coming into contact is not an option, though I know that it makes sense!

The strongest anticholinergic drugs include some antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, medications to control overactive bladder, and sleeping pills. Benzodiazepines boost another neurotransmitter's effectiveness.

Sometime back I read that antihistamines can help with the pain and sure enough during hay fever season whilst I was taking my over the counter antihistamines my IBS was better. At the end of the hay fever season I stopped taking my antihistamines and things got worse.

I’ve been taking antihistamines which help a little but I’m waking during the night scratching. I’ve looked online and this seems to be a side effect. Should I continue taking carbimazole?

For about 2 months I have suddenly started to have the most intense itchy skin all over my body, from my feet all the way up to my scalp. ( no rash) I have to take antihistamines every 3 days. It seems to be a pattern, I take the antihestamine and it works wonders, then 3 days later itis back!

I take dymista now and am wondering how other people take their nasal sprays and antihistamines. Do you take it all year round, or just pollen season? If you stop, how do you know when to stop?
