Allegra 180 MG Description

Allegra 180mg tablet is a medication used to treat allergic rhinitis and urticaria symptoms such as runny or blocked nose, itching, hives, and watery eyes. It is caused by exposure to allergens such as dust, pollen, or mould and can cause symptoms like sneezing, wheezing, etc. If left untreated, allergic rhinitis can lead to other conditions like asthma, otitis media, and sinusitis. Allegra tablet contains fexofenadine, which blocks histamine, a substance that causes an allergic reaction in the body.

To ensure optimal results, take only the prescribed dose and duration as recommended by your doctor. Allegra tablet may cause dizziness and sleepiness, so it is recommended to take it at bedtime. Do not take Allegra if you are allergic to any of its components, and do not give it to children under 12 years old.

Inform your doctor of your complete medical history, including any medications or supplements you are taking, before starting the medication. Additionally, if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, you should inform your doctor before taking Allegra.

Be cautious when driving or operating heavy machinery as this medication may cause dizziness and sleepiness.. Other tablets with fexofenadine include Air 180mg tablet, Fxolife 180mg tablet, Histafree 180mg tablet, Hhfexo 180 tablet, and Klm Fx 180mg tablet.
