Antihistamines

Antihistamines are medicines that may relieve allergy symptoms and itching. Many are available without a prescription. Nondrowsy antihistamines include fexofenadine (Allegra) and loratadine (Claritin). Antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton) can make you feel sleepy and cause other side effects. They may not be safe for young children or people who have certain health problems.

Clinical Review Board
All Healthwise education is reviewed by a team that includes physicians, nurses, advanced practitioners, registered dieticians, and other healthcare professionals.

In an effort to better meet the needs of our community our office hours will be changing as of September 2, 2024.

Monday-Thursday we will be offering appointments as early as 8am and as late as 4pm.

On Fridays we will be offering appointments as early as 8am and as late as 12:30pm.

We believe the addition of these earlier and later appointments during the week will better meet the needs of our patients.

Thank You!
