The Day After

If you take allergy medicine today – you'll probably feel it tomorrow...

Over the counter allergy and cold medicines can be great at relieving congestion or that runny nose – but there’s a good chance you won’t function quite as well the NEXT day. They work by decreasing our secretions – that’s why drowsiness, dry mouth and eyes set in. Those active ingredients stay in the body for up to18 hours. If you take them to get a good night’s sleep – there’s a good chance you’ll feel groggy well into the next day.
