Advice & Tips
I only experience true asthma from about March to October when pollen is at it's highest. I have to stop taking it as soon as possible because I begin to develop unresolved vaginal yeast infections. It works great during the time that I need it, however this summer the allergies were worse and next year if they are as bad I will have to go a dose higher.
