What Causes Tiredness While On Medication For Allergy?

My husband recently started on allergy drops. He is 74 and had a test that showed out of 47 test sites he tested positive on 36 which was grasses, trees etc. My question is, what side effects are there from these drops. We were given no paperwork with them other than instructions on how to take. he has been extremely tired.

Hi i do care for your concern.
The allergy drops are given as a de-sensitization procedure to treat allergy.
The mechanism of the drug involves inducing our immune system to react with the allergens.
The tiredness is due to increased workload on immune system of our body.
It is advisable to have healthy diet, proper hydration and multi vitamins to reduce the tiredness and increase well being.
Hope i have answered your doubts, If you have more feel free to ask.
