How Should Allegra Be Taken For Skin Allergy?

I have had chronic hives for the past 2 months and have tried several antihistamines and the only thing that has helped is Allegra. I take it in the morning. Two questions.......I have been taking this with breakfast. Is this ok or should it be on an empty stomach? And, can I take another one at night before bed? I am taking the 24 hour Allegra. Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Allegra 24 hour, should be taken on empty stomach, with water (do not take with fruit juices, do not chew). It is taken once daily.
If you are doing good with this dosage that you are using, you don't need to increase it. There are two dosages tablets of allegra 24 hour , if you are taking the first one and it doesn't help, you can try taking the second.


Hope I have answered your query.
