Fexofenadine 120mg, 180mg Tablets

Description

Fexofenadine 120mg and 180mg Tablets are medications commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with seasonal allergies, such as hayfever, as well as other allergic conditions. These tablets contain either 120 milligrams or 180 milligrams of fexofenadine hydrochloride, the active ingredient responsible for its antihistamine effects.

Fexofenadine belongs to a class of medications known as second-generation antihistamines. It works by blocking the effects of histamine, a natural substance released by the body during an allergic reaction. By inhibiting histamine, fexofenadine helps alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching of the nose or throat.

These tablets are primarily used to provide relief from symptoms caused by seasonal allergic rhinitis (hayfever) triggered by outdoor allergens like pollen from trees, grasses, or weeds. Fexofenadine can also be effective in managing symptoms caused by other allergens, such as pet dander, dust mites, or mold.

The dosage of fexofenadine tablets may vary depending on the individual’s age, severity of symptoms, and the recommendation of a healthcare professional. Typically, the recommended dosage for adults and children 12 years and older is 120mg or 180mg once daily. It is advisable to take the tablet with water, with or without food.

Fexofenadine is known for its non-drowsy formulation, making it suitable for daytime use without causing significant sedation or impairment. However, it is important to note that some individuals may still experience mild drowsiness or other mild side effects. If drowsiness occurs, it is recommended to avoid activities that require mental alertness until the effects subside.

Most people tolerate fexofenadine well, and serious side effects are rare. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth, and gastrointestinal disturbances. If any severe reactions or allergic symptoms occur, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, immediate medical attention should be sought.

Fexofenadine 120mg and 180mg Tablets provide effective relief for individuals suffering from allergies, allowing them to manage their symptoms and improve their overall quality of life. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before starting any new medication, especially if there are pre-existing medical conditions or ongoing treatments that may interact with fexofenadine.
