Spring season, beautiful flowers bloom, but itchy eyes and nose, runny nose… cough… fever… dizziness… It’s the season when the dreaded allergic rhinitis comes up. Everyone else is fine, but only I am in so much pain. 
While looking for various solutions, I took allergy rhinitis medicine. I will tell you the type of allergy rhinitis medicine, how to take it, and honest reviews (scroll to the bottom) to see if it really worked.
Allergic Rhinitis Drug Type
Please note that another professional term for allergic rhinitis medication is antihistamine.
Allergic rhinitis drugs have 1 to 3 generations according to the order of development.
I will introduce you to the allergy rhinitis medicine that I took.
1. 1st generation allergic rhinitis drug
In fact, I stopped taking first-generation allergy rhinitis medicine. Any drug that came out first has a lot of side effects.
The first-generation allergy rhinitis medicine has a short duration of action, but it is said that it is very drowsy because the drug is well injected into the brain.
2. 2nd generation allergic rhinitis drug (Zyrtec)

Zyrtec, a second-generation allergy rhinitis medicine, was first recommended by a pharmacy when I was young. It is the first allergy rhinitis medicine I have encountered, and it is effective for rhinitis symptoms, so I have been taking it for a long time.
In other words, it is the most representative allergy medicine.
It is said to be more effective than other second-generation allergic rhinitis drugs and is also used for the treatment of acute and chronic hives.
They are really tiny, about 1/3 the size of your fingernail.
The price is about 5,000 won.
(For reference, there is also a syrup form, which can be fed even to children over 2 years old.)
3. 3rd generation allergic rhinitis drug (Allegra)

Allegra, the 3rd generation representative allergy rhinitis drug.
Recently, I accidentally saw an advertisement and found out about it, and it was said to be the most recently developed 3rd generation, so I purchased it instead of Zirtec, which I had eaten for a long time.
Since it is the 3rd generation, of course, the side effects are the least. The representative side effect of allergy rhinitis medicine is drowsiness, but Allegra is said to be the least drowsy.
It is 1/3 the size of a fingernail and is easy to eat.
As for the downside, I think it’s the most expensive of all allergy rhinitis drugs, at around 7,000 won.
How to take allergy rhinitis medicine and precautions (Allegra)

Allegra should be taken before meals with plenty of water. It is effective even after meals, but depending on the dosage, it is best to take it before meals.
Allegra is to be taken 1 tablet once daily. They say it works for 24 hours.
Although the side effect of drowsiness is smaller than that of other allergy rhinitis drugs, it is recommended to refrain from driving or operating dangerous machinery as each person feels differently.
Be careful not to eat with fruit juices such as grapefruit juice, orange and apple juice!
If you are taking cold medicine, do not take it without expert permission!
Allergic rhinitis medicine honest review
It would be nice to compare the symptoms that appear when you take Allegra (3rd generation allergic rhinitis drug) and Zyrtec (2nd generation allergic rhinitis drug).
I actually noticed the effect immediately after taking both products. The itchy eyes and nose are gone, and the runny nose is gone. If I eat the wrong food, I get hives, but it all went away.
However, there was a difference in side effects. I have been taking Zyrtec for nearly 10 years. However, whenever I took Zyrtec, my throat and nose became dry, drowsy, and tired. So I always thought it would be nice if the allergic rhinitis itself would go away.
By the way, what is this after eating Allegra! All allergy symptoms disappeared, there were almost no sleepiness symptoms, and above all, there were no symptoms of dry throat and nose. So, for now, I’m very satisfied!
However, I will not recommend only Allegra. Because there is a drug that suits each person. We recommend that you try both products and choose the one that works and has fewer side effects.
More than that, it was an article by a blogger who suffers from allergic rhinitis.
