Does sudafed also have anti-cholinergic properties?

Understand what Sudafed is 1st. It's not an anti-histamine nor is it a leukotrine agonist.

It's a vaso-contrictor.

Many people who have allergies experience stuffy noses. There are two ways to treat stuffy noses: an intranasal steroid (extremely effective - and also opens nasal terbinates to avoid sinus infections) and pseudoephedrine (constricts veins in the nose).

Sudafed will not eliminate itchy, watery eyes, hives, post nasal drip, or inflammation in the lungs. These are the jobs of an anti-histamine or a leukotriene agonist.

But to answer your original question, no, sudafed does not have anti-cholinergic properties.

I don't know if this will help, but I take Singular with Chlortrimaton (Claritin gives me liver/stomach aches), Advair, an occasional sudafed or Robitussin, Nasonex, Ursidoil, Nexium, Xopenex (refined Albuterol), Pulmozme, and HTS. I used to have chronic sinus infections- now, I just get them occasionally, and they aren't as severe. I love it!

Zytec doesn't phase my allergies- I don't know why.

My allergies are icky this year. Runny nose, itchy nose, and scratchy throat. I don't like taking over the counter meds...make me sleepy. Been flushing my nose and drinking lots of water.

I get this every year for a few weeks and then it is gone. Did allergy testing as a kid and only came up with grass.

I think allergies are getting worse as I get older-- may be my imagination.

Amy, I hate to seem dense, but I don't see allergies anywhere in the category section.

Under categories I'm seeing adults, families etc....
then topic specific...

what am I doing wrong?

Click on "all user blogs" on the left here, then go to "blog owners" on the right on that page, scroll down to "sakasuka" and click on it, then you will be in amy's blog. Scroll down to the bottom of the column on the left, and it says "catagories" and you'll see "Allergies (2)" . It took me a bit to figure it out, too <img src=""> .

Whoops, I knew I'd take too long...but that's how you find stuff in the blogs- lol!
