Berger and Martin both stress that consistent use of allergy medications is the key to successful symptom prevention. Both recommend tying taking the drugs to other things done every day at the same time.
"A lot of us in clinical practice tell patients to associate taking their medications with something they always do," Berger says. "So I often tell them, "When you brush your teeth at night, take your meds."
So what about trying to get the most from allergy medications by taking them at the best time of day?
"If you can do that, great, it certainly is optimal," Berger says. "But in the real world, it may not be optimal, but it is certainly appropriate for busy people to take their daily allergy medications whenever they can regularly do so."
Before making any changes to your drug schedule, please check with your health care provider.
