Medications for Allergies

Antihistamines and other medications used to treat seasonal and year-round allergies.

A food allergy is an unusual reaction by your immune system to certain foods, which it mistakenly identifies as harmful. This can lead to a variety of symptoms that may appear within minutes to a couple of hours after eating the offending food. Common symptoms include hives, skin rashes, swelling of the face or lips, stomach cramps, vomiting, and even trouble breathing. In some cases, a food allergy can cause a severe reaction known as anaphylaxis, which is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention. Both children and adults can develop food allergies, and some may outgrow them while others may develop them later in life. There are various prescription medications available to help manage food allergy symptoms and reactions. It’s important to discuss with your doctor which treatment options are best for you, especially if you have a known food allergy.
