Flowers, trees, a family pet, or dust are examples of things that can cause an allergy. Even foods like peanut butter, fish, and milk can cause an allergic reaction in sensitive people. A substance that triggers an allergy is called an allergen.People can have different reactions to allergens, even when they are allergic to the same things. For example, an allergen that causes eye inflammation in one person may cause headache in another. Some common reactions a person might experience after contact with an allergen include:• asthma• hay fever• upset stomach• eye inflammation• eczema (a skin disease)• itching• itching of the roof of the mouth• itchy ears, nose and throatAnaphylaxisIn rare cases, allergens can cause a severe reaction called anaphylaxis that can result in shock and can even be life-threatening. Allergens most likely to cause this dangerous response include some foods (such as peanuts and shellfish), drugs, insect stings, and latex. The reaction may begin almost immediately after contact with the substance.If you or anyone shows signs of anaphylaxis, call for medical assistance immediately. Anyone with life-threatening allergies should always wear medical identification jewelry and carry an Epi-pen® (a self-injecting medication pen).TipsAvoiding AllergensIf you are allergic to a certain food or to a pet, total avoidance is the best strategy. Unfortunately, many allergens are not easy to eliminate. Dust mites, cockroaches, and mold are some common indoor allergens, and even if you keep your house immaculately clean, tiny particles of these substances are likely to remain. They can get into furniture, bedding, and soft toys.Here are some tips that can help you keep your house allergy-safe:• Limit the number of carpets in your home. It is easier to remove allergens from smooth, hard floors such as tile or wood.• Keep out of your basement. Most basements are damp, which encourages mold growth. A dehumidifier may help as well.• Enclose your mattress in a vinyl cover to protect against dust mites.• Remove all cloth drapes or curtains from your bedroom and replace with blinds.• Wash bed linens and pillows in water hotter than 130º F to kill dust mites.• Use an air purifier with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate-arresting) filter to minimize the allergens floating in the air.• If pet dander (skin flakes) is the cause of your child’s allergies, finding a good home for the pet might be the best solution, but if the pet is an important member of the household, this may not be an option. The next best thing is to keep the pet out of your bedroom.DosingDirections• adults and children 6 years and over: 1 tablet daily; not more than 1 tablet in 24 hours• children under 6 years of age: ask a doctor• consumers with liver or kidney disease: ask a doctorDrug FactsChartKirkland SignatureKS CommitmentWhen you choose to purchase Kirkland Signature medications for your household, you can do so with complete confidence.
