Medicine

Anti-allergic medications are mainly used to prevent and also to reduce allergic symptoms caused by atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, rhinitis, and hives etc. When the substance (allergen) which causes allergy enters the body, excess chemical transmitters will be produced by the body’s cells, that cause various allergic symptoms. Anti-allergic medications reduce allergic symptoms by inhibiting cells to release chemical transmitters.

It is not like tablets working in the body but directly act on the skin or the mucosa of bronchi and cornea to inhibit symptoms occurring. This kind of medication does not work on symptoms that already occur but prevent symptoms before they develop, and also does not provide immediate relief. Thus even there is no symptom, daily medications must be taken as indicated by your doctor. The symptoms of asthma, pollen allergy and atopic dermatitis may worsen during changing seasons or pollen seasons. It is important to understand that symptoms can vary from person to person and also depend on local climate and season. Anti-allergic medications are expected to inhibit symptom before they occur. If there is no symptom and so you stop taking the medication, symptoms may suddenly occur. If you wonder whether it is necessary to keep taking the medications, call your doctor for consultation.
