What Experts Say

Fexofenadine is a third generation antihistamine that experts often prefer for people who need to stay alert during the day. It blocks histamine receptors without easily crossing into the brain, which is why it causes far less sleepiness than older allergy tablets and is popular among students and working adults.

Doctors point out that Fexofenadine works best when taken regularly during allergy season rather than only when symptoms flare up on and off. Experts also note that taking it together with fruit juices such as apple, orange or grapefruit juice can lower how much of the medicine the body actually absorbs, so plain water is preferred.

Health professionals consider Fexofenadine generally safe for long term seasonal use in adults and children above six years of age. Experts still advise people with kidney problems to use a lower dose, since the medicine is cleared from the body mainly through the kidneys and can build up otherwise.
