Allegra?
I have to take Allegra everyday because my allergies are horrible and my kitties have SO much dander.Does anyone know if Allegra is one of the antihistamines that helps with IC? Since I have been taking it every day (I had stopped for a little while) I have found myself feeling a little better than I usually do.It could be all in my head though,lol!

Hi Elacey,
I was looking at a website for an IC doctor and it mentioned using antihistamines such as Allegra as part of a treatment plan...so it sounds like you're not crazy

I started Zyrtec a month ago and lo and behold, the bladder feels better (not great, but better). Go figure.

Hi,
I was told by an IC Specialist that Zyrtec would be another option for me to take besides Atarax so there you go Cheryl!

That's really good to know guys! I have Zirtec as well.I might have to switch because the Allegra seems to only work for my allergies 50% of the time anyway.It makes sense I guess,I've been taking it for like ever. :P
