Allegra (Fexofenadine) 120mg

When seasonal allergies get the best of you, Allegra (Fexofenadine) may be what you need to end the suffering due to hay fever. It has been known to end runny nose, sneezing, and to help prevent eyes from being itchy and watery. Allegra is effective but it is also safe enough for children at least 2 years of age to use. It works by successfully blocking the amount of histamine that is in the body and causes allergies to flare up.

Allegra is offered in a tablet form. For adults and youth, the tablets will need to be taken either once or twice per day. It depends on the weight of the individual and the severity of the allergies. Don’t skip doses as that can allow the allergy problems to rise up again.

The use of Fexofenadine isn’t advised with many other medicines so you need to make sure your doctor is aware of what is being taken. This includes over the counter products and supplements. Avoid the use of antacids while using it. Those that have problems with their kidneys shouldn’t use Allegra.

The consumption of citrus such as orange or grapefruit juice can hinder the effectiveness of Allegra. Avoid consuming any such products for the duration of taking it. While Allegra can help with controlling hay fever problems, it isn’t a cure for it. Continue to take the medicine as prescribed even when you feel better or the problem could get worse for you fast.

There are various side effects that can occur but they usually aren’t severe. These side effects include headaches, nausea, dry mouth, soreness in the legs and back, and a dry cough. If you experience hives, changes in breathing, or swelling of the face you need to seek immediate medical help.
