Do I Have To Take Levocetirizine Every Day?

I was just prescribed Xyzal by an ENT doctor for my chronic sinus problems and for what he believes are allergy symptoms. The script says to take daily in the evening. Do I have to take this medication every day forever. Can I just take it like other people take antihistamines only when they feel they need them? This was a one time trip to the ENT so I don't want to call and haggle with him over this.

The reason you are usually told to take it every day is for prevention of the allergy symptoms, but not it isn't really necessary to do so.

However, if you've been having such sinus problems, then prevention is probably a very good idea, it will keep you from experiencing new symptoms and give time for your body to cover from the ones you've already been having.

Do you have a regular doctor you can discuss it with?
