Fexofenadine Hydrochloride Tablets IP 120mg Uses
Fexofenadine Hydrochloride 120mg is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies (hay fever) such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and itchy, watery eyes. It is also used to treat chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives) to reduce itching and rash.
How Fexofenadine Hydrochloride works
Fexofenadine is a second-generation antihistamine. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Unlike first-generation antihistamines, it does not easily enter the brain, so it is less likely to cause drowsiness.
Common side effects of Fexofenadine Hydrochloride
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Drowsiness (less common than older antihistamines)
- Dry mouth
