🚫 Still popping Benadryl for allergies? You might want to rethink that.

A new report says this common allergy med may cause serious long-term problems—like memory loss and increased dementia risk—especially with regular use. 😳

👉 Safer options exist (and work just as well without the brain fog).

💬 What’s your go-to allergy remedy? Have you noticed side effects from older meds like Benadryl?

📅 If you take it often, now’s the time to chat with one of our allergists—we can help you find relief and protect your long-term health.

Summer’s here, and that might mean more pet allergies as you stay inside to escape the heat! Try these tips to keep the sneezes at bay:

Bathe your pet:
Baths reduce dander and hair around your home.

Sneeze-Free Zone:
Keep the bedroom a pet-free oasis.

Filter your air:
HEPA air purifiers capture pet dander and remove it from circulation.
