Fexofenadine (Allegra, Telfast, Fastofen, Tilfur, Vifas, Telfexo) is an antihistamine drug used
in the treatment of hayfever and similar allergy symptoms. It was developed as a successor of
and alternative to terfenadine (brand names include Triludan and Seldane), an antihistamine
with potentially serious contraindications. Fexofenadine, like other second and
third-generation antihistamines, does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier,
and so causes less drowsiness than first-generation histamine-receptor antagonists.
Fexofenadine is indicated for the relief from physical symptoms associated with seasonal
allergic rhinitis and treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria. It is not a therapeutic
drug and does not cure but rather prevents the aggravation of rhinitis and urticaria and
reduces the severity of the symptoms providing much relief from repeated sneezing, runny nose,
itchy eyes and general body fatigue caused by rhinitis and urticaria.
