I've been dealing with allergies from things like dust and pollen, which usually leave me with a running nose and watery eyes. To manage this, I've been taking Cetrizine 10mg every few days for about a year now. I'm just a bit worried about whether there are any serious side effects from using this medication long-term? Or maybe there's a better way to handle this that I haven't tried?

I've been having a really tough time sleeping because my nostrils keep getting blocked, and I'm pretty sure it's because of my allergic rhinitis. I was on rupafin and medrol last March, but I haven't done any follow-up consultations since then. Could that be why my symptoms are persisting? What should I do next? Should I consider going back for another check-up or is there something else that might help in the meantime?

I've been struggling with this annoying sneezing problem that's related to allergies, and it's been coming and going for a while now. The other day, I went to a pharmacy, and the pharmacist gave me a tablet called okacet. I'm really curious about what this okacet tablet is actually used for and if it's going to help with my sneezing issue. Also, I'm a 35-year-old guy, so I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take?

yes you can take it
