Description
What is Fexofenadine?
Fexofenadine hydrochloride is an anti-histamine medicine for adults and adolescents over the age of 12 years that is used to relieve the symptoms of hay fever (season allergic rhinitis) such as sneezing, itchy, runny or blocked nose and itchy, red and watery eyes.
How the medication works
When your body is exposed to pollen, there is a chance that it will result in allergic symptoms, commonly known as hay fever. When this happens, the cells in the inner lining of your nose release a chemical called histamine, which in turn leads to inflammation and symptoms of hay fever such as sneezing, itching and a runny nose.
Fexonfenadine is a non-drowsy anti-histamine and works by preventing the release of the chemical that causes symptoms of hay fever.
