Description

Fexofenadine, commonly sold under the brand name Allegra*, is an antihistamine medication used to relieve symptoms associated with seasonal allergies such as hay fever, as well as chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). Here’s a detailed description of Fexofenadine tablets, including key features, usage instructions, precautions, and potential side effects:

Key Features:

1. Non-Sedating: Fexofenadine is a second-generation antihistamine known for its non-drowsy formulation, making it suitable for daytime use without causing significant drowsiness or impairing cognitive function.
2. 24-Hour Relief: It provides long-lasting relief from allergy symptoms, with a single daily dose offering effective control of sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes associated with allergic rhinitis.
3. Non-Prescription Availability: Fexofenadine is available over-the-counter in many countries, allowing individuals to access allergy relief without a prescription from a healthcare provider.
4. Fast Onset: It typically begins to work within one hour of ingestion, providing prompt relief from allergy symptoms.
5. Minimal Anticholinergic Effects: Compared to older antihistamines, Fexofenadine has minimal anticholinergic effects, reducing the risk of side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and urinary retention.

Usage Instructions:

1. Dosage: The recommended dosage for adults and children aged 12 years and older is one Fexofenadine 180 mg tablet taken orally once daily with water.
2. Administration: Take Fexofenadine tablets with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or break it.
3. Timing: For optimal efficacy, take Fexofenadine at the same time each day, preferably in the morning to minimize daytime allergy symptoms.
4. Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages while taking Fexofenadine, as it may potentiate the sedative effects of alcohol.
5. Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double dose to catch up.

Precautions:

1. Medical Conditions: Inform your healthcare provider of any pre-existing medical conditions, especially kidney disease or severe renal impairment, as dosage adjustments may be necessary.
2. Pregnancy and Lactation: Consult with a healthcare professional before using Fexofenadine if pregnant or breastfeeding, as the safety of this medication during pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established.
3. Drug Interactions: Fexofenadine may interact with certain medications, including ketoconazole, erythromycin, and grapefruit juice. Inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
4. Driving and Operating Machinery: Although Fexofenadine is considered non-sedating, some individuals may experience mild drowsiness or impaired alertness. Use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how Fexofenadine affects you.
5. Allergic Reactions: Discontinue Fexofenadine and seek medical attention immediately if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.

Side Effects:

1. Common Side Effects: Headache, nausea, diarrhea, menstrual cramps, or back pain may occur in some individuals.
2. Less Common Side Effects: Fatigue, dry mouth, drowsiness, or stomach upset may occur but are less common with Fexofenadine compared to older antihistamines.
3. Serious Side Effects: While rare, serious side effects may include allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.

Always consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice regarding the use of Fexofenadine, including dosage adjustments and potential risks, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.
