What Experts Say

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

Very little enters the brain, so it rarely causes drowsiness. The 60mg strength is normally taken twice a day, and relief usually starts within an hour of a dose. Splitting the dose across the day gives steady coverage for people who like a lower strength.

Fexigra 60mg should be taken with plain water, since grapefruit, orange, and apple juice can reduce absorption. Aluminum or magnesium antacids do the same. People with kidney disease may need a lower dose, and children under 12 need a doctor to choose the right strength and schedule. If symptoms do not improve in a week, a doctor can review the diagnosis and look for triggers such as dust mites or pollen.
