The number of anti-allergy medications you can take in a day depends on the specific medication and the recommended dosage. Generally, most over-the-counter (OTC) allergy medications are meant to be taken once a day. However, some antihistamines can be taken multiple times a day depending on the recommended dosage.
For example, the usual dose for adults taking cetirizine is 10mg once a day. Some antihistamines, like loratadine, can be taken twice daily, with a maximum dose of 10mg in 24 hours.
It's essential to carefully read the instructions on the medication label and talk to your doctor or pharmacist to determine the appropriate dosage for your individual needs. Taking more than the recommended dosage can lead to adverse effects, so it's crucial to follow the prescribed instructions.
