The price of medications for treating urticaria varies depending on the type of drug and where it is purchased, typically ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan. It is recommended to choose appropriate medication under the guidance of a doctor and never self-medicate.
1. Commonly used oral medications: such as loratadine, cetirizine and other anti-allergy drugs, the price of one box is mostly between 20 and 50 yuan, and they need to be taken in courses of treatment.
2. Topical medication selection: Calamine lotion and other antipruritic lotions are relatively affordable, generally not exceeding 30 yuan, and are suitable for mild skin itching.
3. Prescription medications: For recurrent or severe urticaria, doctors may prescribe hormone or immunomodulatory drugs. These drugs are expensive, and the monthly cost may be over 100 yuan. Strict adherence to the doctor's instructions is required.
4. Factors affecting price: Brand, dosage, and medical insurance reimbursement policies all affect actual expenditure. Prescriptions from public hospitals are usually more economical than out-of-pocket payments at pharmacies.
If you experience symptoms of urticaria, consult a dermatologist to determine the cause. Keep a record of allergens you may encounter, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and avoid scratching your skin. Schedule regular follow-up appointments during medication treatment so your doctor can adjust the treatment plan based on your recovery progress.
