Antihistamine
7 Answers
I suffer from allergies, mainly through the colder months and take Anthistamine tables from time to time.
I am beginning to take them more often now (Mostly everday) Are these OK to take long term?

Antihistamines that contain phenylpropanolamine are not only dangerous, they�re addictive. There are also steroidal and non-steroidal antihistamines that can have an impact on your menstrual cycle as well as affecting the fine membrane tissue in your nasal passage.
Please, I encourage you to have a frank discussion with your GP. You may find she prescribes alternatives that provide you with greater relief and are safer as well.
I wish you every success

You can actually get your antihistamine as a jab if you suffer from your allergies long term (I do with cats and dogs and need them as everyone in my family has pets). The jab lasts about 3 months and as it's administered by your GP your medical history will be looked at and should therefore be safe long term as it's use will be monitored.
