Fexofenadine 180mg Tablets are a fast-acting, non-drowsy antihistamine used to treat the symptoms of chronic urticaria, also known as long-term hives. These symptoms often include intense itching, redness, and raised rashes that appear on the skin without a clear allergic trigger. This condition can disrupt daily life and sleep, but Fexofenadine offers effective and targeted relief.
Each tablet contains 180mg of fexofenadine hydrochloride, a potent second-generation antihistamine. This higher strength is specifically intended for individuals who experience persistent or severe skin allergy symptoms. Unlike many older antihistamines, Fexofenadine does not typically cause drowsiness, allowing you to continue your usual activities without unwanted side effects.
How It Works
Fexofenadine blocks histamine H1 receptors in the body. Histamine is the substance that causes allergy symptoms such as swelling, redness, and itching. By preventing histamine from binding to these receptors, Fexofenadine quickly reduces discomfort and helps keep symptoms under control. Importantly, the medicine does not cross the blood-brain barrier easily, so it is less likely to cause sedation.
Why Choose Fexofenadine
This medicine offers long-lasting relief with just one dose per day, making it a convenient option for people managing chronic skin allergies. It starts to work within one to two hours and provides up to 24-hour coverage. Fexofenadine is suitable for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age and is well tolerated by most users. Furthermore, it is often recommended when other antihistamines fail to provide adequate relief.
Important Note
Fexofenadine 180mg Tablets are classified as a Prescription Only Medicine (POM) in the UK.
You must consult a licensed healthcare provider before using this medicine. Always follow the prescribed dose and speak to your doctor or pharmacist if symptoms persist or worsen over time.
