Is it safe for me to take Allegra 180mg twice a day and Teczine 10mg at night for an itchy red rash while I am breastfeeding my five-month-old baby?

Asked by Female, 26 · 3 days ago

Both fexofenadine (Allegra) and levocetirizine (Teczine) are generally considered safe during breastfeeding because only tiny amounts pass into breast milk. However, taking Allegra 180mg twice daily alongside Teczine 10mg is a very high combined antihistamine dose. While generally safe, such high doses can occasionally cause mild drowsiness in your five-month-old or slightly decrease your milk supply. Please monitor your baby for any unusual sleepiness or changes in feeding. I highly recommend consulting your doctor or pediatrician to confirm if this combined dosage is necessary or if a lower, safer dose would successfully clear your rash.
