    substances that alleviate or prevent symptoms of allergic reactions

    Allergy medications, also known as antiallergic drugs or allergy relief, are substances used to alleviate or prevent symptoms caused by allergic reactions, such as sneezing, itching, and swelling. These medications can include antihistamines, corticosteroids, decongestants, and leukotriene inhibitors, each targeting different pathways in the immune response to reduce or block the effects of allergens.
