FEXOFENADINE 180mg Tablets – Fix Allergy; Stay Free and Focused the Entire Day
Designed
Fexofenadine, a second-generation antihistamine, is designed to provide fast relief from allergic symptoms without causing drowsiness, lethargy, or mental dullness commonly seen with older medications.
Whether used for seasonal hay fever or allergic hives (urticaria), it helps you stay active, alert, and comfortable throughout the day.
Main Indications
- Relieves sneezing, runny nose, and itchy/watery eyes due to hay fever
- Reduces rashes, itching, and swelling in urticaria (hives)
- Helps control allergic reactions caused by dust mites, mold, pet dander, and other allergens
The Secondary Art (How It Works)
When exposed to allergens like pollen, the body releases histamine, causing allergy symptoms.
Fexofenadine works by blocking H1 receptors, thereby stopping the histamine pathway.
Because it does not easily enter the brain, it is classified as a non-sedating antihistamine.
