Allergex Pills

My husband and I had to go to South Africa for his work. We took our 2 dogs. My 8yr old Jack Russell developed Allergies. The vet in South Africa put her on Allegex and she did great on it and helped her Allergies. We are home now and my husbands next job assignment is in Florida and the same dog is struggling again with Allergies. I can not find Allergex here. Is their another medication like it or does it have a different name? My poor jack Russell is suffering, the vet has had her on Steroids and Antibiotics with only short term results. As soon as we finish the medication and the yard is mowed she is miserable again, red rash, scratching, biting, just so uncomfortable and miserable. Any help or suggestions? I cannot afford anymore vet bills.

Hello, Peggy! How are you?

I did some research and discovered that the active ingredient in Allergex is listed as being 4mgs Chlorpheniramine and yes, it is commonly used in dogs to treat allergies.

Further good news is that it's available in the U.S. over the counter, you don't need to see a veterinarian again, or anything, as long as yours approves of her taking it.

The FDA warns that it may cause some side effects, such as dry mouth, dizziness and drowsiness, but if she did well on it before, there's probably nothing to worry about, as long as your vet approves.

Is there anything else I can help with?
