Contact your doctor if you experience any of these side effects. Anaphylaxis and angioedema are just two of the serious side effects that Allegra can produce.

It is crucial to inform your doctor or pharmacist about all the medications you are taking, including OTC medicines and dietary supplements, as Allegra can interact with other drugs. Fruit juices and sodas should not be consumed while taking Allegra. You should avoid exposure to the sun and wear sunscreen when you are outside because Allegra can make you more sensitive to sunlight.
