Allergies can put a damper on your day, causing discomfort and irritation. When you experience mild to moderate allergy symptoms, over-the-counter (OTC) options from our pharmacy in New Jersey can provide effective relief.
Antihistamines are a go-to choice for many allergy sufferers. These medications help alleviate symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical produced by the body in response to allergens.
Common OTC antihistamines include loratadine (Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec), and fexofenadine (Allegra). These are readily available at our retail pharmacy in Union City, New Jersey, and can relieve seasonal or environmental allergies.
Decongestants can aid in relieving nasal congestion caused by allergies. However, using these medications cautiously is essential, as they can induce side effects like raised blood pressure. It should only be used for an extended period after consulting a healthcare provider.
Nasal corticosteroids are another OTC option for allergy management. These sprays help decrease inflammation in the nasal passages, relieve congestion and sneezing, and are often recommended for those with seasonal allergies.
On the other hand, allergy eye drops containing antihistamines or mast cell stabilizers can relieve itchy, watery eyes caused by allergens like pollen or pet dander. These drops can be a convenient addition to your allergy relief regimen.
When using OTC options for allergies, always follow the advised dosages and instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen despite OTC treatment, or if you have specific medication management needs, consider seeking guidance from a healthcare provider.
