Lately I’ve been suffering from allergies, so bad, that when I put on my make up, my eyes begin to run immediately. Generally when that happens, I dump all my make up and start shopping for all new product. But with this time of year, I usually chalk it up to seasonal allergies like pollen and hay fever.
While browsing the website, I discovered ways to help reduce allergens at home and be prepared for when and if my kids have are showing signs of allergies. Sneezing and runny nose could easily be mistaken for the common cold and may actually be a result of allergies. Better yet, they have coupons – you must be a CVS/Pharmacy Extra Care Member to download the coupon for $4 off of 30 count or larger or you can get $2 off of the children’s and smaller size packages.
I have been suffering from springtime allergies since I was a kid. I recall waking up with my nose running, daily. Now that I’m a mom, when I am suffering from an allergy attack, all I want to do is just go to bed. If I don’t take any medication, they progressively get worse where I become crabby, tired, frustrated and just want hubby to take over the kids for the rest of the day. Through the years, I’ve tried all kinds of products, some that no longer work on me. I saw this study on the website, I could really relate. For me, Benadryl no longer works, and I’ve had better results with Claritin, but it makes me so sleepy.
I was pleasantly surprised to find Allegra in the aisle, as well as on an end cap. Hooray it was on sale. CVS currently has an exclusive sale for $6 off of Allegra’s 45 count and $9.99 for Allegra’s Children’s tablets or liquid through May 31, 2013. You can check out their promotions at: www.myallergenius.com.
I grabbed a 5 count package since I just wanted to test it out – headed over to the pharmacy to consult a pharmacist. I am on blood pressure medicine, so I wanted to make sure this was a medicine that wouldn’t conflict with my prescriptions. Once the pharmacist gave me the “ok” I headed to the check-out counter and was out the door in seconds flat.
Now that I have my medicine and I’ve taken it, I can quickly get back to my day, without allergy symptoms. Thanks Allegra!

Good point about cold symptoms possibly being allergies! I always wondered why so many people seem to get a ‘spring cold’ – I’ll bet it’s actually allergies!
I’m sorry you suffer from allergies! My kids have various allergies, but not usually seasonal. They’re allergic to dust, though. I hope Allegra continues to work for you. You have a great attitude!
I’m suffering with them right at this very moment–guess it time to get to CVS! =)
I deal with seasonal allergies pretty much year round. I haven’t tried using Allegra; however, I have been taking generic Claritin for a few months and it seems to help a little bit.
If this works, I’ll send you the biggest virtual kiss! I get major allergies from the weather! So I feel ya!
I have very bad allergies, and most of the time I suffer through it, because taking the drugs for too long also gives me weird side effects.
WOW, I guess there are lots of us out there! Hope you all make it through this allergy season with fewer attacks!! Cheers to you all
