What is Fexofenadine?

Fexofenadine is a highly effective antihistamine medicine used to treat seasonal allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever. Sufferers of hay fever often exhibit symptoms including a runny nose, sneezing and red, itchy, and watering eyes. Fexofenadine works by blocking histamine receptors in the spinal cord to prevent or reduce the symptoms caused by the release of histamines in response to an allergic reaction. Fexofenadine is classed as a non-drowsy antihistamine, it offers an effective alternative if non-prescription hay fever treatments have not been previously successful or symptoms are particularly chronic and persistent.
