Used For:

• Allergic Rhinitis: Fexofenadine is commonly used to treat seasonal allergies (hay fever), including symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching in the throat or nose.
• Chronic Urticaria (Hives): It is also used to relieve itching and reduce the appearance of hives, which are red, itchy welts on the skin.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Headache.
• Drowsiness (although rare with fexofenadine, it can still occur in some people).
• Dry mouth.
• Dizziness.
• Nausea.

Serious side effects are rare but can include:

• Allergic reactions: Rash, itching, swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), and difficulty breathing.
• Heart problems: Fast or irregular heartbeats, which can be serious in rare cases.

Precautions:

• Kidney Function: Fexofenadine is primarily eliminated by the kidneys, so it should be used with caution in people with kidney problems, especially if kidney function is impaired.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Fexofenadine is classified as a category C drug in pregnancy, meaning its safety during pregnancy has not been fully established. It is generally considered safe for use during breastfeeding, but it's always best to consult a healthcare provider.
• Other Medications: Fexofenadine should not be taken with certain other medications, particularly antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium, as they can reduce its absorption. Be sure to follow the dosing instructions and inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking.
• Alcohol: Alcohol may increase the sedative effects of other medications, although fexofenadine is less likely to cause sedation compared to first-generation antihistamines.
