Everyday Rx · FAQ
What side effects can Everyday Rx herpes and allergy medicines cause?
Short answer
Side effects depend on the exact Everyday Rx prescription. Some herpes antivirals can cause headache, nausea, or stomach discomfort. Some allergy medicines can cause sleepiness, dry mouth, or nose irritation. Ask about your specific ingredients. Seek emergency help for trouble breathing, throat swelling, or other signs of a severe reaction.
Not every Everyday Rx medicine has the same side effects. Read the medication information from your pharmacy and ask which effects are most relevant to your prescription. Your physician or pharmacist can explain what you can monitor at home and what needs medical attention.
Some oral herpes antivirals can cause headache, nausea, or stomach discomfort. Certain antivirals need extra caution in people with kidney problems. Rare but serious concerns can include kidney problems or changes in alertness, especially when dosing does not match a person's health needs.
Allergy medicine side effects vary by ingredient and form. Some antihistamines can cause sleepiness or dry mouth. Some nasal sprays can cause irritation or nosebleeds. Avoid driving until you know whether a medicine makes you sleepy. Alcohol or other sedating medicines may increase that effect.
Seek emergency help for trouble breathing, swelling of the lips or throat, fainting, or a severe skin reaction. Contact your physician promptly about other new or worsening symptoms. Do not change the dose on your own to manage side effects.
