Children’s Allegra
Children's Allegra is an antihistamine that decreases the reaction of the natural chemical called histamine in the human body.

Children’s Allegra is used to alleviate symptoms of skin itching, seasonal allergies, and hives. It provides non-drowsy, whole-day allergy relief from different indoor and outdoor allergies. The long-lasting, 12-hour formula of this drug helps to combat allergy symptoms such as sinus pressure, itchy throat, and eyes and sneezing.
