For people suffering from allergic rhinitis, characterized by symptoms such as runny nose and frequent sneezing, a new generation of antihistamines such as Allegra (fexofedine) may be a good option.
Allegra is a new generation antihistamine that effectively blocks the action of histamine, which is responsible for allergy symptoms. It has a strong anti-allergic effect, reducing symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, itching of the nose and eyes.
It does not cause drowsiness, which is an advantage compared to older antihistamines. It can be used long-term in the treatment of chronic allergic rhinitis. It is available without a prescription, which makes it easy to buy at a pharmacy.

If Allegra does not provide the expected relief from symptoms, you can also add nasal drops such as:
* Saline or sea water - such drops facilitate nasal cleansing and moisturize the mucous membrane. They can be safely used together with Allegra, e.g.:
Puri-nasin: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/65436/puri-nasin-aerozol/apteki
Hypertonic marimer: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/46427/marimer-hipertoniczny-spray-do-nosa-aerozol/apteki
* Drops with nasal spray containing glucocorticoids (e.g. mometasone, fluticasone) - have anti-inflammatory properties and can be combined with antihistamines such as Allegra, e.g.: Momester Nasal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/98681/momester-nasal-aerozol/apteki
OtriAllergy Control: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/91018/otriallergy-control-krople-do-nosa/apteki
* Drops with sympathomimetics (e.g. oxymetazoline, xlometazoline) - have a constricting effect on the blood vessels of the nose, but should be used for a short time and carefully combined with Allegra due to possible side effects, e.g.:
Sudafed HA: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/75304/sudafed-xylospray-ha-aerozol/apteki
However, it is not recommended to combine Allegra with nasal drops containing antihistamines (e.g. azelastine), as this may increase side effects.
