What Experts Say

Allergies triggered by dust, pollen and smog are common across Pakistani cities, and Fexofenadine is a popular choice because it controls symptoms without heavy sedation. Doctors in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi often recommend it during high pollution months.

This medicine blocks histamine, the chemical the body releases during an allergic reaction, which reduces sneezing, itching and a runny nose. Its once daily dosing makes it easy to use compared with older allergy medicines that need multiple doses.

Experts note that while Fexofenadine is generally well tolerated, people with kidney problems may need a lower dose. Fruit juices like apple, orange and grapefruit juice can reduce how well the medicine is absorbed, so plain water is preferred when taking it.
