Can I Take More Than One Allergy Medication???

The blunt answer is yes... but only if the medications are from different categories. What are the different categories? They include:

• Anti-histamines (allegra, zyrtec, claritin, xyzal, clarinex, etc)
• Steroid nasal sprays (flonase, nasonex, nasacort, rhinocort, etc)
• Singulair
• Anti-histamine nasal sprays (astelin, astepro, patanase)
• Saline flushes (Neilmed Sinus Rinse Kit)
• Mast cell stabilizer (NasalCrom)

As such, a person can take one medication from each category and achieve better allergy control than taking just one medication alone.
