Allegra-D Allergy & Congestion Coupons & Prices

Allegra-D 12 Hour and 24 Hour combine the non-drowsy antihistamine fexofenadine with the decongestant pseudoephedrine to relieve seasonal allergy symptoms and nasal congestion together, and while it's sold behind the pharmacy counter rather than by prescription, an rx.com Allegra-D coupon can still help you compare pharmacy prices before you buy — enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you.

What Is Allegra-D and How Does It Work?

Allegra-D 12 Hour Allergy and Congestion pairs fexofenadine hydrochloride 60 mg with pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 120 mg in an extended-release tablet, while Allegra-D 24 Hour pairs fexofenadine 180 mg with pseudoephedrine 240 mg ER. Both are FDA-approved, over-the-counter options for adults and children 12 and older, used for the sneezing, runny nose, and itchy nose/palate/throat/eyes of seasonal allergic rhinitis, plus the nasal and sinus congestion that often comes with it.

Because they contain pseudoephedrine, these products are kept behind the pharmacy counter rather than on the open shelf, even though no prescription is required. Take each dose with a full glass of water, and swallow the tablet whole — do not crush or chew it, since that would release the extended-release dose all at once.

Comparing Prices and Saving on Allegra-D

Allegra-D is available as a generic (fexofenadine/pseudoephedrine ER), so you have both brand and generic options at the pharmacy. Prices for over-the-counter behind-the-counter products like this can still vary quite a bit from one pharmacy to the next. An rx.com coupon lets you check what different pharmacies near you are charging before you check out — enter your ZIP above to see today's price.

Because Allegra-D is not a prescription drug, there is no manufacturer copay card tied to it; the way to save is simply comparing pharmacy prices and, where available, using a coupon at checkout.

Allegra-D vs. Regular Allegra and Other Allergy-Decongestant Combinations

If you only need allergy relief without a decongestant, plain Allegra (fexofenadine) or its generic, fexofenadine, treats the sneezing and itching without the stimulant effect of pseudoephedrine. If you need a decongestant alone, pseudoephedrine is sold separately behind the counter as well.

Other antihistamine-decongestant combinations include Claritin-D (loratadine/pseudoephedrine) and Zyrtec-D (cetirizine/pseudoephedrine). All work on the same general principle — antihistamine plus decongestant — but differ in the antihistamine used and how long each dose lasts, so which fits best can depend on how your allergies respond and how you tolerate each ingredient.

Safety Information

Do not use Allegra-D if you are allergic to fexofenadine, pseudoephedrine, or any of its ingredients, or if you are taking (or have taken within the past 14 days) a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). Ask a doctor before use if you have glaucoma, trouble urinating due to an enlarged prostate gland, high blood pressure, heart disease, an overactive thyroid, diabetes, or kidney disease, since pseudoephedrine can raise blood pressure and heart rate. Common side effects include trouble sleeping, nervousness, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth; taking a dose near bedtime can make sleep difficulty more likely because of the stimulant effect.

This information is not a substitute for medical advice — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether Allegra-D is right for you, especially if you take other medications or have an underlying health condition.
