What Experts Say

Fexofenadine blocks histamine receptors but doesn't cross into the brain, so you stay alert and awake. This makes it ideal for people who need to drive or work.

Doctors prefer this for allergies because it's effective and safe. It works within an hour or two and keeps working for 24 hours. Many people notice better sleep because they can breathe easier.

This is a modern antihistamine that has been used safely for many years. It doesn't interact with fruit juices like some other antihistamines, making it easier to take.
