Overview L Hist Tablet

AllerHist tablets are classified as antihistamines, effective in managing a range of allergic responses. These include seasonal allergies (hay fever), conjunctivitis, certain dermatological conditions like eczema and urticaria, and reactions to insect bites or stings. The medication alleviates symptoms such as watery eyes, nasal discharge, sneezing, and itching. AllerHist can be administered with or without food. Dosage is individualized based on the specific condition being treated. While often taken before bedtime, adhere to your physician's instructions regarding administration frequency and timing. Intermittent use is acceptable for symptom management, but consistent daily use is recommended for preventative purposes. Discontinuing treatment prematurely or missing doses may lead to symptom recurrence. Common, typically transient side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, tiredness, pyrexia, cough, upper respiratory tract infection, and epistaxis. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant medical consultation. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor about any pre-existing kidney disease or epilepsy; dosage adjustment or alternative medication may be necessary. Potential drug interactions exist, so disclose all current medications to your healthcare provider. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician before use, although the medication is generally considered safe during these periods.
