Algrot 180 mg Tablet

Algrot 180 mg Tablet is a prescription-strength allergy medicine that contains 180 mg of fexofenadine in each tablet. It belongs to the second-generation antihistamine class and is used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and hives. Algrot 180 mg Tablet is made by Khandelwal Laboratories, India, and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets. It is designed for people who need the higher tablet strength rather than a lower-dose option.

How it works: Fexofenadine works by blocking histamine, a natural substance that triggers allergy symptoms like itching, sneezing, and watery eyes. In tablet form, Algrot 180 mg Tablet provides a convenient oral dose that starts working within hours and helps keep symptoms controlled through the day.

Algrot 180 mg Tablet is the higher-strength tablet in this product line, compared with Algrot 120 mg Tablet. A clinician may choose Algrot 180 mg Tablet when a lower strength is not enough for symptom control, especially for once-daily use in allergic conditions. Because it is the 180 mg tablet, it should be used only when a doctor has decided that this strength is appropriate for you.

• Perennial allergic rhinitis
• Sneezing and runny nose

• Swallow Algrot 180 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Take it at about the same time each day if you are prescribed daily use.

• If you take antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium, separate them from Algrot 180 mg Tablet by at least 2 hours.

Each Algrot 180 mg Tablet provides 180 mg of fexofenadine per tablet. For many allergy uses, this strength is taken once daily, and the usual maximum is 180 mg in 24 hours unless your doctor gives different instructions. Your clinician decides the right dose based on your symptoms, age, and medical history.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
