Medical Description

Allegra 120mg tablet is an antihistamine medication used to treat and manage allergies. This tablet relieves watery eyes, runny or blocked nose, itching, sneezing, and swelling. It also helps relieve skin allergy symptoms (hives), such as skin rash, itching, and swelling.

Allegra 120mg tablet contains fexofenadine as an active ingredient. Fexofenadine works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance that causes allergy symptoms.

Take an Allegra 120mg tablet as advised by your doctor for the prescribed duration. You can take this medicine with or without food. It is advised to take this medication at the same time every day. Do not miss or skip the dose of Allegra.

A few other tablets with fexofenadine as their composition are Fxolife 120mg, Air 120, Fexy 120mg, and Fexova 120.

You may experience dizziness, drowsiness, and headache while taking this medication. However, these side effects are temporary and resolve on their own. If these side effects worsen, contact your doctor immediately.

To avoid getting an allergy, avoid exposure to the substance you're allergic to whenever possible. Allegra 120 should not be used by children under 12 years of age. Before starting treatment with Allegra 120mg tablets, inform your doctor about all your medications and medical conditions.

Uses

Allegra 120mg tablet is used to treat allergic rhinitis and its symptoms, including watery eyes, runny or blocked nose, itching and sneezing. It is also used to relieve symptoms of skin allergy (urticaria or hives).

Doctor’s suggestion

Dr. Ujwala Ingle-KaleMBBS, MD (Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy)

Allegra is one of the antihistamines patients actually continue long-term because it controls itching and allergies well and is generally considered less likely to cause “brain fog” or daytime drowsiness that many older antihistamines do. In real-world dermatology practice, compliance is often better with Allegra because working professionals and students can usually take it during the day without sedation. However, responses may vary between individuals, and some patients may still experience drowsiness or other side effects.

Contraindications

If you are allergic to fexofenadine or any other ingredients of Allegra 120mg Tablet.

Side effects

Nausea
Headache
Drowsiness
Dizziness
Dysmenorrhoea
Back pain

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Allegra 120 mg is generally considered relatively safe in pregnancy, but it should be taken only if your doctor recommends it. It may help with allergy-related itching, sneezing, or runny nose, and can ease mild allergy-triggered breathing discomfort, but it is not a treatment for asthma or serious breathing problems. Always check with your doctor before using it during pregnancy to be sure it is appropriate and safe for your condition.

Breast Feeding

No, Allegra 120mg Tablet passes into the breastmilk. Thus, it is recommended not to take this medicine while breastfeeding, unless advised by your doctor.

Driving

Allegra 120mg Tablet does not have any effect on the ability to drive or use machines. However, caution is advised while driving or doing anything that requires concentration as it can cause dizziness and sleepiness.

Alcohol

No, you should avoid drinking alcohol while on this medicine as it may make you feel sleepy and increase side effects.

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if

You are suffering from liver or kidney disease.
You are suffering from any heart disease as this medicine is known to increase your heartbeat.
You are an elderly person.
Allegra 120mg Tablet should not be used by children below the age of 12.

Directions for Use

Take Allegra 120mg Tablet as a whole and as per your doctor's advice with a glass of water. Do not crush, break or chew this medicine. Do not take it with fruit juices.

Storage and disposal

Store it in a cool dry place. Protect it from moisture and direct sunlight.
Keep it away from children and pets.

Quick Tips

Take the medicine exactly as recommended regarding dose and duration. Do not exceed the prescribed amount, and keep it out of reach of children under 12 years of age.
Use this medication for allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy skin; it does not treat infections, the common cold, ringworm, or digestive conditions.
Recognize that this provides supportive relief for itching from eczema or stings but is not a treatment for asthma or emergency peanut allergies.
Use this for a sore throat or dry cough only when caused by allergies, as it will not treat these symptoms if they are due to an infection.
Monitor for side effects and consult your doctor immediately if they occur. Also, never give this medication to pets unless a veterinarian specifically directs you to.
Do not take it with fruit juice. Apple, orange, and grapefruit juice measurably reduce fexofenadine absorption, so take it with water.
Fexofenadine is one of the least sedating antihistamines, but it still makes some people drowsy. See how it affects you before driving or operating machinery.
It controls symptoms rather than curing the allergy. Identifying and reducing your trigger- dust mite, pollen, pet dander, mould- is what reduces how much medicine you need.
For seasonal allergy, it works best taken regularly through the season rather than only on bad days.
It relieves sneezing, itching, and a runny nose, but not a blocked nose as well. Tell your doctor if congestion is your main problem, as you may need a different treatment.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, and do not give an adult-strength tablet to a child.

Dosage

Overdose

Symptoms of an overdose can lead to dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue and dry mouth. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you have missed any dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

Doctor’s suggestion

Dr. Ujwala Ingle-KaleMBBS, MD (Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy)

Another practical point is that many chronic urticaria patients tolerate dose escalation of Allegra quite well when needed, while still maintaining a relatively clean side-effect profile compared to sedating antihistamines.

How does this medicine work?

Allegra 120mg Tablet blocks the release of natural substance histamine responsible for various allergic conditions. Thus, helps relieve symptoms of allergic conditions.

Interactions

Interactions with other drugs

Effect

Can lower fexofenadine levels by speeding up clearance. May reduce effectiveness.

Advice

Avoid combining unless necessary. Monitor allergy symptoms. Doctor may adjust dose.

Effect

Erythromycin can double the concentration of Allegra 120mg tablet in the bloodstream by affecting its transport and elimination. This may increase the risk of side effects such as headache, dizziness, or rapid heartbeat, though serious reactions are uncommon.

Advice

This combination is generally safe when prescribed by a doctor. Take both medications exactly as directed. Do not change your dose on your own. Report any unusual symptoms, especially dizziness or heart palpitations.

Effect

Ketoconazole may increase Allegra 120mg tablet levels by helping your body absorb more of the medicine and slowing its breakdown. This may lead to a slightly higher risk of mild side effects, such as nausea, fatigue, or dizziness, but it is rarely dangerous.

Advice

Safe to use together if prescribed by your healthcare provider. Stick strictly to the recommended dose. Monitor for signs of discomfort such as unusual tiredness or upset stomach, and inform your doctor if symptoms occur.

Effect

These antacids can reduce the absorption of fexofenadine, likely making it less effective at relieving allergy symptoms. The interaction happens because the metals interfere with how fexofenadine is taken up in the digestive tract.

Advice

To maintain effectiveness, do not take antacids within 2 hours before or after taking fexofenadine. Consider taking them at separate times of day. Consult your pharmacist or doctor for safe alternatives or proper timing if you need both medications.

Interactions with food items

You should avoid grapefruit juice, apple juice or orange juice while on this medicine, as it may increase the side effects of this medicine as it reduces bioavailability significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

No. It is an antihistamine for allergic rhinitis and skin allergy. It does not open the airways and must never be relied on during an asthma attack or for breathlessness, which need an inhaler and urgent medical attention.

Antihistamines are commonly used through an allergy season and for longer under medical supervision. Continuous use should still be reviewed by your doctor, who may look at whether trigger avoidance or a nasal steroid would reduce how much you need.

A steroid nasal spray is often combined with an antihistamine, and the two work in different ways. Do not combine two oral antihistamines, and check with your doctor before adding any product that already contains an antihistamine, such as a cold remedy.

Fexofenadine is among the least sedating antihistamines, and most people are unaffected. Find out how it affects you before you drive, and avoid alcohol, which adds to any sedation.

No, you should never take any medicine more than the prescribed dose. It will increase side effects without additional benefit. Thus, never self-medicate. Always consult your doctor if your condition does not improve.

Allegra 120mg tablets may interact with certain medicines or supplements. This can also alter the intended effect. So, before starting Allegra 120mg tablets, tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, or herbal products you take.

A cough can be caused by various factors, so it's best to consult a doctor before taking any medication to treat it.

Yes, Allegra 120 Tablet can help with skin allergies if they are caused by urticaria. However, the patient should not self-medicate; take this medicine only under a doctor's recommendation.

Take Allegra 120 as needed or as advised by your doctor. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose or the recommended treatment duration.

Yes, Allegra 120 mg (an antihistamine) and Wysolone (prednisolone, a steroid) can generally be taken together when prescribed for allergies, severe nasal symptoms, or throat swelling. Consult your doctor before using it.

Yes, you can generally take Allegra 120 mg (an antihistamine) with Dynapar (a pain-relief and anti-inflammatory medicine) because they work differently and don't have major interactions. This combination is sometimes used when a person has both allergy symptoms and pain or inflammation. However, Dynapar may irritate the stomach; take it after a meal and use it only for the duration your doctor advises. If you have acid reflux, ulcers, kidney issues, or are on other medications, consult your physician before combining them.

Ascovent SR and Allegra 120 mg serve completely different purposes. Ascovent SR is a bronchodilator used to relieve breathing problems, chest tightness, and airway obstruction in conditions like asthma or bronchitis. Allegra 120 mg is an antihistamine that treats allergic symptoms. In some cases, doctors may prescribe both if a person has allergy-triggered breathing issues, but take them only as advised by your doctor.

Histafree 120 and Allegra 120 both contain 120 mg of fexofenadine. Use one as your doctor advises.

Both are antihistamines that treat allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and itching. Take the medicine based on your symptoms and your doctor's advice.

The main difference is that Allegra 120 contains a single active ingredient (fexofenadine), while Montair LC contains two (levocetirizine and montelukast). Always take he medicine prescribed by your doctor.
