What are Allevia Tablets?
Allevia is a non-drowsy antihistamine medication used for treating hay fever symptoms (seasonal allergic rhinitis) such as sneezing, red or watery eyes and a runny, itchy or blocked nose. Each tablet of Allevia contains 120mg of the active ingredient fexofenadine hydrochloride.
How does Allevia work to relieve hay fever symptoms?
When exposed to pollen, your body may start to produce the chemical histamine which causes a chain reaction of allergic symptoms like inflammation, red and watery eyes, and a runny or blocked nose. The active ingredient in Allevia known as fexofenadine inhibits an allergic reaction to hay fever by blocking the histamine receptors in the spinal cord and stopping the chain reaction of hay fever symptoms.
