Hi,

Fenelofaxin is known to have an allergy... Though developing an allergy after 10 years of consumption is rare... it needs to be observed & change of the medicine molecule to be done by the prescribing expert.

It's good that you have started with treatment of allergy... Take full course as advised avoid exposure to other possible allergens (like change of cosmetics, material of clothing, eating unusual food)... in case allergy is due to something else... the symptoms will be controlled with the medicine... if not you should consult the expert.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale,
