Spring Allergies


It is allergy season, and many patients are suffering with red and itchy eyes. Medications to help these symptoms include steroids, anti-histamines, and histamine blockers. Zaditor (Ketotifin) is a histamine blocker that is now over-the-counter. It is taken twice per day and symptoms may improve in a few hours. 

There are other medications for allergy sufferers available by prescription including steroids, anti-histamines and mast cell inhibitory drugs. You can get prescriptions for these drugs with a short office visit at LVC.
