I'm really worried about some medication I'm on. I'm taking Atarax at night and Allegra 180 in the mornings, and I've been on them for about 30 days now. I've also taken Atarax 25 twice a day for 40 days, Allegra 180 and levocetirizine for 15 days, Atarax 25 again but once a day for 10 days, Prutrax 50mg for 10 days, and Polaramine 5mg for 10 days. I've started noticing more urticaria appearing, and I'm concerned it might be because of this medication schedule. Can this mix of medications increase the risk of hives if taken for longer periods? Would love some advice on what to do next.

Taking Atarax at night and Allegra 180 in the morning for a longer period of 30 days can potentially lead to hives due to the combination of antihistamines. The prolonged use of these medications can sometimes paradoxically lead to worsening of symptoms such as urticaria. It is important to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management of your condition.
