I'm on levocetirizine at night, and it's making me feel drowsy and weak throughout the day. Is this a normal side effect I should be worried about? My doctor prescribed it, but I'm curious if this is typical.

I'm dealing with a dust allergy and have been using this nasal spray called flublock. I'm wondering if I can switch to using Naselin nasal spray instead. Do they work the same way, and is one of them gentler on the nose than the other?

I had a sudden allergic reaction after eating some fish a couple of days ago and was prescribed atarax. I was told to take it three times a day for five days, but after just one dose, my allergy was gone. Now, I'm feeling a bit odddrowsy and irritated every time I take it. Should I stop taking the medicine if my allergy is already better?

Diagnosis is allergy .U can stop consuming fish,Tab.Atarax can be taken once daily,orally for 3 days is advised to the patient.
