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.

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.

A: The primary difference is that FM 24 contains two active ingredients, fexofenadine and montelukast, while Allegra 120 contains only fexofenadine
Q: What is the difference between Histafree 120 and Allegra 120?
A: Histafree 120 and Allegra 120 are essentially the same because both contain fexofenadine 120 mg, an antihistamine used to relieve sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and allergy-related itching. They differ in their other ingredients. You can use either as advised by your doctor.
