Question : What is the best allegetic medicine can be given to one with an Amaloid angioplasty
Brief Answer:
Only blood pressure treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I hope to have understood your question correctly as I think there are some typing errors. I suppose you are looking for medication of Amyloid angiopathy, is that correct? Also not sure what you mean by "allegetic medicine".
If you are indeed looking for medication in someone with amyloid angiopathy I am afraid that the options are really limited. There is not a cure for it. What is aimed is to prevent its main complication, brain hemorrhage. That is done by carefully monitoring and treating high blood pressure. Other than that there is no proven therapy unfortunately.

My question was what would be a safe allergy medicine to administer to a person that is suffering with amaloid angioplasty.
Brief Answer:
Levocetirizine, loratadine (all the common ones).
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
I still think that the condition you mean is amyloid angiopathy. There is no condition called "amaloid angioplasty" that I'm aware of, searching for it doesn't produce any result either. Angioplasty as a term is a procedure where it is entered through a catheter to open blocked blood vessels. So I'll assume that you are referring to amyloid angiopathy. Perhaps you have misheard it when your doctor pronounced it, they sound in a similar way.
As for the question about which allergy medication may be used the answer is everything, medications used for allergies do not influence the condition. So all of them can be used safely (levocetirizine, loratadine to name a few).
Let me know if I can further assist you.
