allergy pill

Pollen season relief

An allergy pill is a medication taken to relieve symptoms caused by allergic reactions—sneezing, itching, congestion, watery eyes.

Most are antihistamines available over the counter: I took an allergy pill before going outside during pollen season.

The term is casual and nonspecific, covering various formulations and active ingredients.
