How do I switch from another allergy treatment to Allergy Rx?
Short answer
Ask your prescribing physician for a switch plan before starting Allergy Rx. Share the names, doses, and last use of your current allergy medicines. Do not overlap sprays or tablets unless told to do so. The plan depends on your current treatment and the Allergy Rx ingredients dispensed.
A licensed physician in your state decides whether Allergy Rx is appropriate and how to switch from your current treatment. Share all allergy and cold medicines you use, including nasal sprays, tablets, eye drops, and products bought without a prescription. Include the dose, how often you take them, and when you last used them.
Do not add Allergy Rx on top of another antihistamine or steroid nasal spray without guidance. Overlapping ingredients can increase side effects. If you use a nasal decongestant spray, tell your physician how long you have used it. Prolonged use of certain decongestant sprays can cause rebound congestion and may need a separate stopping plan.
Ask for clear instructions about which medicine to stop, when to start Allergy Rx, and whether any overlap is intended. The tablet ingredient on this page is not specified, so confirm it before switching. Do not replace asthma medicines or emergency allergy treatment with Allergy Rx. Contact your care team if the written directions are unclear or symptoms worsen during the switch.
