Question by PicanteSteVo: can I take Sudafed PE Sinus Headache with Allegra 180?
I think the question says it all, however… I am taking Allegra 180 (generic brand) for allergies. I am DYING from my itchy and runny nose, though. I want to take something for relief, since sometimes I get headaches from constantly sniffing in all the fluid. HELP!
**I understand that any guidance I receive is just that. I will not hold anyone responsible for what I decide to take.**

Answer by Poggi I am an allergy sufferer and have been on several medications including Allegra 180 or fexofenadine as it is also called. I used to take Allegra-D with a decongestant in it and if you take Sudafed PE along with Allegra 180 it is like taking Allegra-D and Tylenol. The Sudafed PE Sinus Headache is comprised of : acetaminophen 325mg (which is tylenol/pain reliever) and phenylephrine HCl 5mg ( which is a decongestant). The Fexofenadine is an antihistamine which is a different type of medicine and as I said before, it can be taken with a decongestant such as the Sudafed PE. Unfortunately the Sudafed probably won’t help with the itching since it is a decongestant, but it should help dry up your nose. Antihistamines are the medications that are supposed to stop the itching, so that would be the purpose of the Allegra 180. I hope this helps.

Answer by sunny112358 azithromycin increases a protein in your body called Cytochrom P450, which plays a crucial role in the metabolism of some drugs. Dose adjustment might be necessary for certain class of drugs like heparin, which is a blodd thinner. considering your age and history it should be fine you don’t need any dose adjustments.

Answer by summerres this is straight from the website.
Sinus infections can also be treated by some home remedies. A lot of relief can be obtained by inhaling steam from a vaporizer or a bowl of hot water. Applying a hot or a cold compress over the inflamed area would also provide relief. A decoction of mustard seed powder and water, instilled in the nostrils; eating jalapeno peppers; drinking juice of ripe grapes; applying a paste of cinnamon and water on the forehead; applying paste of ginger and water/milk on the forehead; applying paste of basil leaves, cloves, and dried ginger on the forehead; inhaling steam of eucalyptus oil; and drinking warm tea are all found to be effective in providing some relief. Drinking a lot of water and other fluids would also help. A great deal of rest is also required. However, it is better to consult a specialist if the infection persists.
