Is it safe to take antihistamines long term?🤔Many of Prof. @DrAdamFox patients rely on #antihistamines for extended periods, whether for nasal issues like rhinitis or conditions like chronic urticaria. Understandably, parents will often ask about the long-term safety of these medications – it is therefore important that you are taking the right type of antihistamines.   Some key things to know and be aware of: ❌There are concerns regarding the long-term safety of first-generation antihistamines, like Piriton and Chlorpheniramine so these should be avoided as long term treatment ✔️Second-generation antihistamines, including Cetirizine, Loratadine, and Fexofenadine, have an excellent long-term safety record. 👉Extensive evidence supports the safety of regular use of second-generation antihistamines at recommended doses over time - there's no evidence to suggest tolerance development or the need for dose escalation in children due to prolonged use. 👉However, as children grow, dosage adjustments may be necessary to maintain efficacy.
