\"\"If you think allergies aren’t a serious medical issue consider this,\u00a0allergy symptoms are responsible for six million lost work days and two million lost\u00a0school days in the U.S. each year.\u00a0 The alarming statistics are based on a report done by\u00a0The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, Inc.<\/p>\n

“Most of my patients say the morning is the toughest time of the day to control allergy symptoms,” said Michael Blaiss, M.D., Clinical Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine, University of Tennessee and immediate past President of ACAAI. “A recent\u00a0survey\u00a0validated what physicians have been hearing from patients, that it is crucial to relieve morning allergy symptoms.”<\/p>\n

Cami Hill couldn’t agree more.\u00a0 “I wake up and feel like my head could explode,” the 31 year old allergy sufferer said.\u00a0 “I have tried a lot of medications and can’t seem to find one that leaves me feeling awake and well in the morning.”<\/p>\n

So, researchers decided to see if they could do something about the morning onset of symptoms.\u00a0 Scientists tested Clarinex, an allergy medication, to see if it could bring relief to those battling allergies.\u00a0 With the help of 534 patients, researchers administered Clarinex,\u00a0or a placebo, to\u00a0the group and\u00a0tracked their allergy symptoms for two weeks.\u00a0 At the beginning and end of the study, results show Clarinex did\u00a0decrease\u00a0allergy symptoms in the\u00a0morning.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“In the study, patients taking once-daily Clarinex\u00a0experienced relief of symptoms in the morning, starting with the first measured time period, 24 hours after the first dose, and also reported sustained improvements for the full 24-hour dosing period,” said Catherine Neukirch, M.D., Pulmonology and Allergology Dept. of Hopital Bichat, Paris, France and lead researcher.<\/p>\n
