2. Allergies got you down?
Antihistamines can help!
Antihistamines block the
effects of histamine that
has been released by the
body during an allergy
attack.
Examples are
fexofenadine
(Allegra), loratadine
(Claritan), and
diphenhydramine
(Benadryl)
3. Tired of
Coughing?
Try an antitussive
to help you stop
that cough in it’s
tracks.
Antitussives
relieve the urge to
cough.
Examples you could find at your local
pharmacy: hydrocodon (Hycodan) and
dextromethorphan (Vicks Formula 44)
4. Steroids your Mom would approve
Corticosteroids
Corticosteroids reduce
inflammation and
swelling in the
respiratory tract.
Examples are fluticasone
(Flonase), mometasone
(Nasonex) and
triamcinolone
(Azmacort).
