I have seasonal allergies. Can I take allergy medications when flying?

Yes, absolutely. In fact, your flight experience will be more comfortable with the medication. In addition I would recommend that you use nasal saline spray, Xclear spray or a similar moisturizer for nasal passages during the flight to combat the effects of dry air on the plane. Happy flying!
Yes, you can take non drowsy allergy medication e.g. Claritin or Zyrtec for your allergies even when flying. *Navdeep Kaur MD* *VIVAA PLLC* *1900, 116th Ave NE, Suite 201, Bellevue, Wa- (8004* *1301, 4th Ave NW, Suite:302, Issaquah, WA-98027* *Ph: 425-250-9999 <(425)%20250-9999>* *Fax:425-654-5582 <(425)%20654-5582>* *Web: myvivaa.com <http://myvivaa.com/>*
