Allergy Update!

Dr. Roy has posted an excellent summary of available allergy treatments here. One new development – Flonase is now over-the-counter (joining OTC Nasacort)!

The best way to keep from suffering this allergy season is to be prepared.  Start nasal steroid sprays (such as Flonase, Nasonex, or Nasocort) several weeks prior to the pollen. It takes a week or so for them to kick in, but they are the best treatment available for nasal allergy.  Add on antihistamines (Zyrtec/Allegra/Claritin) if necessary.  Shower and wash hair nightly, and use nasal saline rinses to wash pollen out of your nose.

If none of the above is working, come see us!
