What Experts Say

Fexofenadine is the active form of an older antihistamine and works by blocking H1 receptors in the nose, eyes and skin. It does not cross easily into the brain, which explains why drowsiness is uncommon. Its safety record is well established, which is why it is widely prescribed for both short and seasonal use in adults and teenagers.

Studies show it reduces nasal and skin symptoms of allergy within an hour of the dose. It is often used in people who need to drive or study and cannot afford to feel sleepy. Taking it at the same time each day helps maintain even control of symptoms, including night time itching that disturbs sleep.

Antacids and certain fruit juices can cut its absorption, so spacing them from the dose helps. Long lasting hives or swelling of the lips and throat should be reviewed urgently by a doctor. Persistent symptoms despite regular use should prompt a review of triggers and other treatment options.
