Explained

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
i have read your query
And I will try to help you understand the condition

Urticaria is a kind of allergic problem where the person concerned is allergic to some subsance-

This substance may be airborne, new type of clothes/cosmetics etc. There is a huge range of possible allergens.

these cause allergy and therefore the person can develop itching and rashes over affected and exposed parts of the body.

One of the best ways would be to avoid the allergens. howerver, as described, it is not always possible to avoid allergens.

Therefore doctors often prescribe anti allergens to cure rashes and urticaria.

Allegra 180 is one such medicine. Now like every medicine, even this has some side effects. But the medicine is relatively safe. The most important side effects are drowsiness and feeling of dry mouth.

In view of your condition, I would suggest that you should take the prescrption and try it before giving up on the medicines

Best of luck
