These include a variety of methods as well, such as, nasal sprays, pills, eye drops and liquid suspension medication.
Prescription drugs have are much more effective than their over the counter competitors. Over the counter drugs for allergies tend to cause drowsiness and typically their effectiveness does not last as long as prescription drugs. Antihistamines help relieve sneezing, runny nose, and itchy watery eyes. Nasal sprays containing corticosteroids relieve and prevent symptoms such as, sneezing, runny nose, itchy and watery eyes and a stuffy nose. There are also nasal sprays that can stop a runny nose but they do not alleviate a stuffy nose. Eye drops can alleviate dry eyes, eye redness and itching that is caused by allergies. Allergy injections are prescription drugs that can be administered and are the closest the medical community has come to a cure for allergies. These injections are given over several weeks and/or months to desensitize your immune system for the particular allergens that are affecting you.
