What Experts Say

Fenofex Tablet contains fexofenadine, a second generation antihistamine. It blocks histamine H1 receptors, so the sneezing, itching and watery eyes triggered by allergens settle down. Symptoms usually ease within an hour of a dose, and the effect lasts about a day. Fexofenadine is not broken down much by the liver, which is one reason it has fewer interactions than some older antihistamines.

Because fexofenadine does not cross into the brain much, it is less likely to cause sleepiness than older antihistamines. This makes it a common choice for people who need to stay alert at work or school. Many people find it works well when started before the pollen or dust season peaks.

The 180mg strength is meant for adults and adolescents, usually as one tablet a day. It treats symptoms only and does not cure the allergy, so avoiding known triggers still matters. Persistent symptoms should be checked by a doctor. Children under 12 should use the dose form made for their age.
