Choose an effective antiallergic agent that would quickly stop or alleviate the manifestations of allergic reactions, while not causing side effects  and without causing harm to the body, it is very important for people suffering from this or that type of allergy.

It should be understood that the choice of medication is carried out strictly individually (a drug ideally suited to one patient with the same symptoms may absolutely not suit another patient), and a provoking allergen must be identified, some features of the body, symptoms, and concomitant pathologies are taken into account.

Therefore, it is best to entrust the appointment of such a drug to the allergist. And in our article, we will consider which allergy products are considered the most effective and help in most cases, based on patient feedback and expert recommendations.

The most effective allergy to bloom allergy

Allergy to flowering (ambrosia, wormwood, poplar, birch, etc.) is a seasonal allergy and many experts consider the specific vaccine to be administered according to a certain pattern long before the onset of flowering of suspected allergen plants as the most effective remedy for this pathology. But, as practice shows, not in all cases, vaccination gives the desired effect, and often after it still there is a need to use the usual antiallergic drugs. Although, it should be noted, yet this method of treatment more often allows, at least, to reduce the intensity of the manifestations of allergy to flowering, which can already be considered a good result.

To combat the manifestations of bloom allergy that could not be prevented, doctors usually prescribe systemic-acting antihistamines. The best option in this case are the new generation of drugs that have a quick and long lasting effect and are as safe as possible for health, for example:

• Desloratadine (Eden, Erius);
• Fexofenadine (Telfast, Allegra, Fexadin);
• Levocetirizine (Xizal, Zodak Express, Alerzin).

Also effective means  against allergies are some of the previous generation of drugs:

• Cetirizine (Cetrin, Zyrtec);
• Loratadine (Claritin, Clarfast, Lomilan)
• Chlorpyramine (Suprastin, Allergosan);
• Mebhydroline (Diazolin).

In addition to systemic allergy remedies (in the form of dragees, tablets, injections, drops), local antihistamines are effective, the most common of which are as follows:

• eden Rino Nasal Spray;
• allergodil nasal spray;
• eye drops Allergodil;
• eye drops Vizin Allergy;
• nasal drops Sanorin-Analegin.

According to statistics, one of the best-selling pills are just allergy products. Often, doctors prescribe medication, without knowing the financial capabilities of the patient, because the price of the drug is sometimes inaccessible to many. Therefore, it is very useful to know that practically any drug has analogues that are much cheaper and have the same effects.

For the first time getting into the human body allergen does not provoke abnormal manifestations. But the process of reuniting immunoglobulin E and specific antibodies is already beginning. After some time, accumulation occurs, and when the process is repeated, histamine is produced, which causes an allergic reaction.

Histamine is an active biological substance found in many tissue formations. In the natural state is a passive form. At the time of the active stage, it becomes dangerous for a person, since the respiratory, muscular and other systems are impaired.

Antiallergic pills are made up of substances that cord off the performance of histamine receptors. As a consequence, histamine is not possible to contact with the tissues and cause negative manifestations.

Treatment program

• reduce the flow of the source of the disease, ideally completely eliminate and not in contact with the allergen;
• systematically carry out wet cleaning in the house;
• reduce the flow of foods that can cause a reaction (foods high in sugar, coffee, citrus fruits, chocolate, milk);
• eliminate mental stress and strong physical exertion;
• try to get rid of annoying circumstances such as, hypothermia, overheating, waterlogging, drying the skin.

Applying pills against an allergic state will only be wiser when contact with allergens is eliminated. Otherwise, it is necessary to increase the dosage, but the desired effect can still not be achieved.

Types of drugs

Allergology divides allergy pills into several groups:

• antihistamine medications — wary of the histamine active stage;
• cell stabilizers - reduce the excitability of allergic cells;
• glucocorticoid hormones.

Antihistamines  used as a quick and effective treatment  allergies, as they reduce the performance of histamine in the cells. These tablets I generation include: Dimedrol, Dibazol, Citrine, Tavegil, Erius, Suprastin, Claritin, Loratadin. Most of them are contraindicated in pregnancy, and syrups and drops are sold for children.

As for the effects of the II and III generation of drugs, they act temporarily, but even with a high level of histamine, the reaction will not develop. The main advantage is that you need to take medicine only 1 time in 24 hours. However, they do not have a sedative effect.

Stabilizers are used as tablets, but their effect has a strengthening effect of the membrane of basophils. In the future, with the ingress of an allergen, it does not collapse. Basically, these drugs are prescribed for the treatment of chronic allergies (for example, eczema, dermatitis, asthma, asthmatic bronchitis).

Glucocorticoid hormones are prescribed in the form of receiving pills only when you can not stop the development of the disease in other ways. In fact, these drugs are similar to the hormones of the adrenal cortex, which act as anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic drugs.

It is important to know that if allergy pills of this type are prescribed, then at the end of the course you cannot abruptly stop taking. Dosage must be reduced slowly. This should warn the attending physician. In the event that he did not do so, one should consult with a more experienced specialist to prevent the likely consequences.

Price of drugs

Thanks to a wide range of allergy pills, the patient can choose the most suitable option for himself. The price of medicines varies from the cheapest and most affordable for everyone to sometimes just going wildly. Often it depends on the manufacturer: foreign tablets are several times more expensive than their domestic counterparts.

The list of the most popular antihistamines with an average price includes:

• diazolin - from 10 r .;
• citrine - from 80 r .;
• ketotifen - from 10 p .;
• erius - from 230 p .;
• kestin - from 160 r .;

• fenkarol - from 80 p .;
• citirizin - from 40 p .;
• zyrtec - from 230 p .;
• lordestin - from 15 p .;

As a rule, it is easier for doctors to prescribe a more well-known drug than to recall the name of the analogues. Even asking to call a similar medicine with a small price, many will answer that the similar does not exist. But now you know that you can save on health and at the same time avoid negative effects on the body.

Good preparations

It is not recommended to prescribe antihistamine pills on your own, it will be better if the allergist does. When the doctor prescribes the drug and the duration of its use, it is repelled by the individual characteristics of the patient. Symptoms, severity of the disease, manifestations - all this is taken into account when drawing up a course of treatment. Only a specialist can correctly select effective and safe drugs for allergies.

Before you make an independent replacement of expensive drugs for those whose price is more affordable, talk with your doctor or study thoroughly the composition. In any case, before making such a decision, you must be completely sure that you will not harm yourself. In an extreme situation, you can consult with the seller in a pharmacy, since all employees of pharmacy institutions have medical education.

In the pharmacy chain there is a huge selection of medicines of various brands with the most diverse pricing policies, but most of them are analogues with a small price. Often, the price of original medicines is high because of the fact that manufacturers spend heavily on brand promotion and advertising.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of these medicines are that they are suitable for almost any patient. Of course, the injection affects the problem much faster, but not everyone has the opportunity to make an injection. Many patients tolerate this method of taking medicines, in particular children. The action of medicines is focused on the elimination of symptoms, as well as on the restoration of the whole organism. In addition, immunity increases and the risk of complications is reduced. The time of exposure to the disease is much faster than using ointments that have a local effect, and this is not so effective.

As for the drawbacks, most of the pills are bitter in taste and hard to swallow. In general, all anti-allergy drugs have side effects. That is why you should not use them for more than 7 days.

Side effects

• passivity,
• slowness
• apathy,
• drowsiness,
• lethargy,
• inhibited reaction
• dry nasopharynx and oropharynx,

Cheap allergy pills are differently called generics (cheap counterparts). The low price of the drug is due to the fact that no studies have been conducted proving their effectiveness in contrast to proprietary products. Therefore, in this case it is difficult to say whether cheap drugs will have the desired effect in the treatment of allergies.

Drink a pill and forget about allergies is unlikely to succeed, as long-term suppression of symptoms without rational treatment can lead to unpredictable consequences from immune system. Therefore, you should definitely visit an allergist and identify the culprits of allergic reactions.

Allergy Pills - List

Consider the most effective and inexpensive pills  from allergies more detailed.

Antihistamines. Antihistamine allergy pills fall into two categories: those that have a sedative effect and non-sedative allergy pills that do not cause drowsiness.

The first generation includes older anti-allergic drugs that relieve symptoms, but cause drowsiness, which makes it difficult to use these tools when driving motor vehicles or when working with high concentration. In addition, the concentration of active substances is rapidly eliminated from the blood, which requires taking the drug two or three times a day.

Allergy pills of the new generation do not cause manifestations of drowsiness, due to which they are even used in long courses, for example, during the dusting season of herbs and trees.

During an allergic reaction, histamine is released into the blood - a substance that can lead to narrowing of the airways and dilation of blood vessels, thereby causing swelling or swelling of tissues, as well as lowering blood pressure.

All antihistamines act as histamine receptor H1 and H2 blockers, thereby preventing or reducing characteristic symptoms  allergies

Allergy Decongestant Pills

Decongestants are used to constrict blood vessels and relieve nasal congestion during allergic rhinitis, as well as other edema caused by allergic reactions. Some allergy medicines include both antihistamine and decongestants.

Despite the fact that allergy pills are currently the most popular drugs used to eliminate and prevent all classes of allergic reactions that may occur in the human body, their independent use cannot prevent the development of symptoms of this pathological process. If the allergen continues to enter the body (the route of its receipt is not significant), then even the highest doses of drugs used to interrupt the chain of an allergic reaction will not be effective.

Allergy Treatment Program

That is why doctors say that when treating any allergic reaction on the skin or face, you need to follow a specific program of therapeutic measures. These include:

• restriction or complete cessation of the allergen in the body in any way  - Wet cleaning in the dwelling is necessary, restriction of contacts with potential allergens (pets, plants, household items on which the allergen can accumulate);
• is recommended restriction of the ingestion of products that increase the risk of allergic reactions  (foods high in sugar, citrus fruits, milk, coffee, chocolate);
• elimination of excessive physical and mental overstrain;
• limiting the influence of annoying factors  (overheating, overcooling, drying out and over-wetting the skin).

What allergy pills are good and effective? What is better to use during treatment?

It is advisable to use pills against allergies only when the impact of these factors is minimized - if this rule is not followed, it is necessary to constantly increase the dose of drugs, but the expected effect will not be obtained.

Drugs for the treatment of allergies in pills

Preparations that modern allergology recommends using for the treatment of allergies belong to the following groups of medicinal substances:

• antihistamines  - Medicinal preparations that prevent the release of the mediator of histamine allergy;
• mast cell membrane stabilizers  - drugs that reduce the excitability of cells responsible for the development of allergic reactions;
• systemic glucocorticoid hormones.

Antihistamine tablets for the treatment of allergies are used to quickly eliminate the manifestations of an allergic reaction — they suppress the production of histamine in cells and reduce the sensitivity of peripheral tissue receptors to mediators of allergic reactions. Actually, the first generation antihistamines really suppress histamine production, therefore these drugs  (Dibazol, Dimedrol, Tavegil, Suprastin, Citrine, Erius, Loratadine, Claritin) must be administered several times a day at approximately equal intervals. Most of these drugs are contraindicated in pregnancy. For children, they are available in the form of syrup or drops.

The effect of antihistamines of the second and third generation is due to the effect of the drugs on the histamine receptors - they temporarily lose their sensitivity to the allergy mediator, and even high level  histamine serum allergic reaction can not develop.

The main positive effects of drugs of the second and third generation can be considered the fact that these allergy pills are enough to use only once a day, and they are deprived of a sedative (hypnotic) effect.

List antihistamine tablets  from cheap and inexpensive to the strongest best:

Stabilizers mast cells They are also used as allergy pills - their effect is explained by the “strengthening” of the basophil membrane (“mast cells”), and it does not collapse when the allergen enters the body, leading to the development of an allergic reaction of the classical type. Most often, these drugs are prescribed for the treatment of chronic diseases. allergic diseases  (atopic dermatitis, eczema, bronchial asthma and severe asthmatic bronchitis)

Glucocorticoid hormones of systemic action as tablets for the treatment of allergies are prescribed in the case when it is impossible to prevent the development of allergies in other ways. By their nature, all these substances are analogues of the hormones of the adrenal cortex - these substances have a pronounced anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effect. When prescribing this class of pills for allergies, it is important to remember that after starting the intake, it is impossible to stop using the medication at once - the dose should be reduced gradually, by no more than 1/3 of the daily dose of any such drug. These drugs should be prescribed by a qualified doctor.
