You can take these medication for long period but they are only going to treat your symptoms not the cause.. You have nasal allergies. The only treatment for this is to find the cause and prevent exposure to that causative agent.. Please observe what exposure is causing these symptoms to aggrevate and avoid those.. Till then the tablets will help. Taking steroid spray course and steam inhalation twice a day will help
