You might consider going the "homeopathic" way. My husband is allergic to cats & dogs & always suffered all the time (we have 3 inside dogs) until he started using Animal Hair & Dander allergy relief by bioAllers. It contains all natural ingredients & small doses of cat, dog, horse, & sheep wool allergens in a liquid form that is applied under the tongue per their recommended dosages (there are also special ones for children ages 2-12, highly sensitive persons & asthma sufferers). Within a few days of usage, we started noticing a world of difference since the formula provides fast short-term symptom relief and builds up long-term resistance to specific allergens. It is available at health food stores and there are also other formulas for grass, grain & wheat, & tree pollen as well as mold, yeast & dust allergens. *** For best results consult a Dr. of Naturopathy in your area-if possible- & If Pregnant or Nursing ALWAYS consult the corresponding health care professional. ***
Clariten (I don't think that I spelled that right) helps with my dog allergies.
I am also allergic to cats! I usually use Benadryl Allergy. It's good, doesn't leave you sleepy, and can take as needed. Claritin D is also okay, but can make you drowsy.
You can also get allergy shots at a doctors clinic once a week and that would work... then you don't have to take medications.
I've also done nasal spray allergy meds. Those are actually better than regular medications
pet allergies are like grass, weeds, pollen, etc. it's in the air or get's on your clothes and hands and then you breathe it in. so airborn allergens can be treated with claritin like products/ benadryl, allerest, etc. all these can help. sometimes they aren't enough and you should see an E.N.T. specialist and have an allergy skin test to see if you truly have allergies. you may need shots. hopefully not. try the over the counter meds first.
hi, i SO understand this query - the answer is: cortisone shots! not exactly the most comfortable, but they do work and are not all that expensive - you take them once a month! after a while, i got used to the pet dander, but it probably was because i was around the same pets all the time...not a variety, like you will be exposed to...good luck and happy job life!!
Benedryl and Claritin are both available OTC. There are also some nose sprayson the market too.
Rx nasal sprays like Astelin, help combact indoor/out door allergens.
It depends on what type of symptoms you have and if you are on other meds. If you are taking an antihistimine and its not doing the job you may need to add nasal spray or eye drops if those are your symptoms.
Benedryl
Claritin, Claritin-D, Zyrtec, Loratidine, Allegra, Allegra-D, Benadryl.
You will need an antihistamine basically. Check with your doctor before taking especially since you are on meds for asthma already.
I'm not sure if it is a good idea to rely on medicines. There have been far too many reports about side effects. Instead, consider natural remedies such as homeopathy and prevention strategies.
