FEXOFENADINE
Fexofenadine is a non-drowsy antihistamine used for allergy symptoms. It relieves allergies without the sedation of older antihistamines, which makes it suitable for daytime use.
What Fexofenadine Is Used For
- Sneezing, runny nose and itchy, watery eyes
- Seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis
- Itchy skin and hives (urticaria)
Common Side Effects
- Headache
- Occasional drowsiness
- Nausea
Precautions
Fruit juices such as orange, apple and grapefruit can reduce how well fexofenadine is absorbed, so take it with water. If your allergy symptoms do not settle after a few days, or keep returning, speak to a doctor or pharmacist.
