My wife's been dealing with a dry cough for over two months now. We did an X-ray and some blood tests, and the doctor thinks it's an allergy. She's already been through three courses of tablets, but there's still no improvement. What do you think we should do next? Do you have any suggestions?

I'm currently using Mondeslor tablets for my allergies and I'm really curious about the possible side effects. How safe is it to combine this medication with others? Can you help me understand what I should be cautious about?

Mondeslor (desloratadine) is generally well-tolerated for treating allergies, but common side effects may include drowsiness, dry mouth, or headache. It is usually safe to take with other medications, but it's important to consult your doctor or pharmacist to ensure no interactions with other prescriptions you're using.
