Suggest Treatment For Asthma And Allergy

I m having issues breathing do to my allergy onset athsma. I won t get my rescue inhaler until tomorrow and I took one Allegra d. It seems to be wearing off after 5 hours and I was wondering if I could take another just to sleep through the night no problem.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Allegra d is not an alternative for the use of inhalers or nebulisation.

Allegra d is a combination of an antihistamine and a decongestant whereas your rescue inhaler contains a bronchodilator (opens the airway).

If you are short of breath due to an asthma attack, it would be best to seek treatment at your doctor's office or emergency center.

I hope this helps
