You need to see an allergist and find out what exactly is causing the hives, so you can avoid it. Telfast is meant to treat the symptoms, not the cause. You may be exposing yourself to whatever causes the urticaria on a regular bases.

If you have chronic idiopathic urticaria, see your doctor. The gold standard for treatment of that condition is Atarax (hydroxyzine). It's so sedating that it's not used anymore, so Zyrtec (cetirizine) - a metabolite of hydroxyzine - gives you almost as much relief without putting you to sleep is used.
Take the Zyrtec and a topical steroid cream (Cortizone) for immediate relief.
