Hi, I am on medication for urticaria with medicines fx 180 mg, zempred 8 mg and atarax 10 mg along with thyronorm 12. 5 mcg for the last 20 days. I am worrying whether I can take covid vaccine while using these medicines if I can, which vaccine is better covishield or covaxin? If I can't, how should I deal with vaccinating myself as vaccinating is urgent for my professional work. Thanks!

Normally there should be no problem. If you are in doubt, discontinue the urticaria medicines for some time and take the vaccination. Both the vaccines are good.

U can get yourself vaccinated. There is no harm in getting vaccinated. Also no vaccine is better than other. Kindly take the vaccine whichever is provided in your locality also take the 2nd dose of same vaccine.
