The most effective prescription medication for treating allergic reactions is typically an antihistamine such as cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin), or fexofenadine (Allegra). These medications work by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best medication for your specific Allergies and symptoms.
