I am on allegra for allergies, dicyclomine for IBS. Once a week Immodium
for IBS.

My prostate problems snuck up on me - gradually getting worse. I've been
on those medicines for only a few years - the years during which the
problems with my prostate got worse. I can't find any documention
definitively linking the drugs to prostate problems. Thought someone
here might have similar experiences.

Antihistamines are generally not recommended for people with prostate
problems. Allegra is an antihistamine. Don't know how bad your
allergies are, but you could consider shots instead.
