Frequently Asked Questions

When pollen keeps winning, see an allergist

Pollen shifts week to week in Purchase. If cetirizine (Zyrtec) or a steroid nasal spray stopped holding your symptoms down, or they drag on for months at a time, a board-certified allergist can test exactly what you react to and treat the cause instead of the symptom.
