How much of them should I take daily?!

I’m currently taking allergy meds for my hay fever/pollen allergy, and I was wondering that since the box is saying that I can take 1/2 every 4-6 hours, would it be dangerous/risky for me if I took 2 tablets every 4 hours in a day, how much tablets should I take in a day?!

Ask your doctor or pharmacist. There may be knowledgeable people here, but they can't assess you like a GP visit can.

If the box says you can take 2 tablets 4-6 hourly, why would it not be OK? Or does the box say you can take 0.5 tablets (as opposed to 1 to 2 tablets)? If the latter, obviously taking 2 would be silly.

You should also check to see whether the dosing instructions have a maximum dose in 24 hours. Also, whether there's a limit on how long you should be taking the product -- e.g. "do not use for more than 7 days at a time".

Personally, I would try to take the minimum amount that would control my symptoms rather than the maximum allowed dose.

But as has been noted, if you want advice on this you should get it from a professional.
