Fexofenadine Hydrochloride

Fexofenadine Hydrochloride is the generic version of Allegra but works in the same way with the same active ingredient, Fexofenadine.

Fexofenadine is an antihistamine medicine which is a popular treatment for allergies, such as hay fever, eczema, hives and allergic conjunctivitis. It can also be used to treat allergic reactions to insect bites and stings and some food allergies.

An allergy is when the body has a reaction to a particular food or substance and is affects more than 1 in 4 people in the UK at some point in their lives. Common symptoms of allergies are: sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes (commonly hay fever), as well as itching (hives).

When to take Fexofenadine

Fexofenadine tablets can be taken at the first sign of allergic symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery or itchy eyes. They can also be taken over a long period of time to prevent allergic symptoms for instance taking for hay fever during times of high pollen to provide long term relief.
