What Experts Say

Fexofenadine is a second generation antihistamine. It blocks histamine at H1 receptors, and histamine is the chemical behind sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. Compared with older antihistamines, it rarely interferes with alertness, so many people prefer it for work or study days.

Very little of the medicine enters the brain, so drowsiness is uncommon compared with older antihistamines. Relief usually begins within an hour and lasts about 24 hours. It suits people who want a single daily tablet and dislike feeling sleepy.

Fexigra 120mg is best taken with plain water, because fruit juices such as grapefruit, orange, and apple can reduce absorption. Antacids with aluminum or magnesium have the same effect. People with kidney disease may need a lower dose, and any symptoms that last or worsen should be reviewed by a doctor. If symptoms do not improve in a week, a doctor can review the diagnosis and look for triggers such as dust mites or pollen.
