Can I stop Allergy Rx when my allergies feel better?
Short answer
Ask your prescribing physician when to stop Allergy Rx, even if your symptoms feel better. Some people need treatment only during allergy season, while others need a longer plan. Symptoms may return after stopping. Results vary. The tablet’s stopping instructions depend on the ingredient prescribed.
Follow the treatment length your prescribing physician recommends. Do not assume that a symptom-free day means you should stop Allergy Rx. Your plan may depend on whether your triggers are seasonal, present year-round, or limited to certain settings. Symptoms may return when treatment stops and exposure continues. Results vary.
Nasal azelastine and fluticasone used at prescribed doses generally do not require tapering, but your physician should confirm what is right for your full treatment plan. The page does not name the tablet ingredient. Do not assume its stopping instructions match those for the spray. Tell your physician if you also use other steroid medicines.
If side effects are the reason you want to stop, contact your care team rather than lowering doses or skipping days on your own. They can review the cause and discuss options. Get emergency help for trouble breathing or swelling of your face or throat. Stopping medication and canceling future orders are separate steps; contact Verra about any order or plan changes.
