Allegra and nose sores

I have taken Allegra off and on for a long time but lately it seems that when I take it I get nose sores which clear up after I stop Allegra.  So then when my allergies get bad again, I start taking the Allegra and the nose sores come back.  Has anyone else ever experienced nose sores while taking Allegra or any other allergy med?

Hi Carla :) What is Ayr and what is it used for? Whats really strange is that I can understand a D(decogestant) causing the nose sores because it can dry you out too much but this Allegra I'm taking is not Allegra D - just plain Allegra (I'm sensitive to the ingredients of D's). So I can't figure out why I'm getting the sores but obviously it's from the Allegra. My doc prescribed me Zyrtec, I went to go fill it at the pharmacy and my insurance won't cover it because according to their stipulations is that I have to try Clariten, Allegra and Sudafed before they will cover Zyrtec. Which I explained to the pharmacist that I have tried all 3 and 2 out of the 3 I'm too sensitive to the ingredients and the 3rd does nothing really (Allegra). So then the doc would have to call in to the insurance company and give a clearance before it will be covered. This is fairly recent so I'm still working on that but boy is that frustrating! lol

Thanks Razzle, Do you use Ayr also?  I don't get the nose sores very often, but I know that's the worst place to have a sore.  Ayr works great for me. 

Sherry, I really think it is worth you giving it a try.

Take care all!

Carla,

I'd actually never heard of Ayr until reading your post here, but I looked it up because I was curious. I get terrible nose sores every time I try to reduce my nasal steroid inhaler dose, and the Ayr may be helpful for getting the nose sores to heal. Thanks!

Take care,
