Yes. It depends on the type of allergy medication. If you aren't sure what to use, go to a local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist for a recommendation.

A locally owned mom and pop pharmacy is more likely to give their pharmacist time to listen and care about you. Avoid large chain pharmacies if you can get to a locally owned pharmacy instead.
