I have asthma, but I’ve been having bad allergies this year. What medications are safe to take if I’m taking Flovent and ventolin?

Hi there,

First thing you should do is take an antihistaminic such as Aerius or Claritin. They are safe with your others treatments and should offer some relief in less than 2 weeks.

If those drugs doesn't help much, we could try to add a corticosteroid to spray in your nostrils daily. The pharmacist can provide such a treatment without the need for you to consult a doctor first.

Have a great day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
