When Should You Take Allegra Morning or Night?

Allegra can be taken either morning or night, as it provides 24-hour allergy relief. Most people prefer taking it in the morning to prevent daytime allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. The medication reaches peak effectiveness within 2-3 hours and maintains consistent antihistamine activity throughout the day. Since Allegra is non-drowsy, unlike older antihistamines, it won't interfere with daily activities when taken in the morning. However, if you experience breakthrough symptoms in the evening, taking it at night may provide better coverage for morning allergies. The key is maintaining a consistent daily schedule, taking it at the same time each day for optimal effectiveness.
