Before you start

No single product here covers every use in the list above, and the antihistamine guides from the NHS and MedlinePlus are useful background on how this group of medicines is used. Tell a pharmacist or doctor about any other medicines you take, any long-term condition you have, and any reaction you have had to a medicine before, so the choice can be checked against your own situation. If a symptom changes or gets worse after starting, get advice rather than carrying on.
