I'm really worried because my mom is allergic to diclofenac and also has a dust allergy. We haven't gotten her COVID results yet, and I'm thinking about giving her ivermectin as a precaution. But I'm concerneddoes ivermectin have any diclofenac in it? Can you advise us on whether it's safe for her?

I'm dealing with chronic liver disease, allergic rhinitis, bronchitis, and asthma, and I'm really worried about finding a safe antihistamine for my condition. Do you think options like Levocetirizine, Desloratadine, or Bilastine would be safe for me?

For someone with chronic liver disease, it's important to choose an antihistamine that has minimal impact on the liver. Among the options, **Desloratadine** is generally considered safer as it has fewer liver-related side effects compared to others. However, it's best to consult your doctor before starting any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your condition.

I've been on Allegra 120 for over a week now, and I'm starting to wonder if it might cause any side effects related to my throat. Could you tell me what sort of effects those might be?

It is an anti-allergy medicine and helps to treat allergic conditions such as sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, hives, etc. if your allergic symptoms subside stop allegra and there is no side effect over throat
