Product Description
Product Name: Alofex Tablets 180mg
Product Form: Tablets
Pack Size: 10s
Manufactured By: Derma Techno Pakistan
Used For:
Fexofenadine hydrochloride is a non-drowsy antihistamine used to treat allergic symptoms. It is commonly prescribed for:
- Seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), relieving symptoms like sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
- Chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives), helping to alleviate itching and swelling associated with the condition.
Fexofenadine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms.
Side Effects:
Fexofenadine is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience side effects, including:
- Headache
- Drowsiness (though less common than with first-generation antihistamines)
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Dry mouth
- Fatigue
Less common but more serious side effects may include:
- Severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing)
Precautions:
- Kidney Function: Fexofenadine is primarily eliminated through the kidneys. People with kidney issues may require a dosage adjustment and should consult a healthcare provider before use.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: While generally considered safe, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider before using fexofenadine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
- Drowsiness: Although it is less sedating than other antihistamines, some individuals may still experience drowsiness. Caution is advised when driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Drug Interactions: Fexofenadine may interact with certain medications, particularly those that affect liver enzymes. Always check with a healthcare provider before taking it alongside other medications, especially antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, as they can reduce absorption.
