I am 74+. Suffering from allergic rhinitis and occasionally having continuous sneezing. Running nose also starts. I am forced to take atarax 20 mg. But as I take the tablet 3 or 4 days no sneezing or running nose appears. Is it advisable to have such tablet with one interval every 3 or 4 days to remain ok. There is no cough or irritation. The local doctor has prescribed montelukast 10 mg once daily and I am also continuing like that. But occasional continuous sneezing & running nose does not stop until I take one atarax 20 mg at an interval of every 3 or 4 days. I have also htn and taking once daily amlopidine 5 mg with olmesartan medoxomil 40 mg and blood thinner ecosprin 75 daily as per advice of a cardiologist. I am also taking tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.4 mg daily as I have enlarged prostate. Will taking atarax 20 mg at an interval of every 3 or 4 days have bad health effect? What is the alternative?
