Fexofen 120 Tablet

Fexofen 120 Tablet is an oral allergy medicine that contains fexofenadine 120 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the antihistamine class and is used to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis and hives (urticaria). This Fexofen 120 Tablet helps reduce sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin itching caused by allergies. It is a non-drowsy antihistamine for many people, though some patients may still feel a little sleepy or dizzy.

How it works: Fexofenadine blocks histamine, a natural chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction. In this tablet form, Fexofen 120 Tablet helps calm allergy symptoms without affecting the brain as much as older antihistamines, so it is less likely to cause drowsiness.

Fexofen 120 Tablet provides 120 mg of fexofenadine in a standard swallow tablet, which is a common adult strength for allergy symptoms. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this tablet is intended to fit typical once-daily use as directed by a clinician, rather than being a lower or higher sibling dose.

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis
• Sneezing and runny nose
• Itchy, watery eyes
• Nasal or throat itching from allergies
• Hives (urticaria) and itching

• Swallow Fexofen 120 Tablet whole with water; do not chew or crush it.
• Take it at the same time each day if your doctor has prescribed regular use.
• Avoid taking it with fruit juices such as apple, orange, or grapefruit juice, which can reduce absorption.
• If you use antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium, separate them from this tablet by at least 2 hours.
• You may take it with or without food, but follow your prescriber’s directions if meals seem to affect your symptoms.
• If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Fexofen 120 Tablet contains fexofenadine 120 mg. The exact dose and how often to take it depend on the condition being treated and the doctor’s instructions; for many adults, this strength is used once daily, with the total daily amount kept within the prescribed limit. Do not take more than the recommended number of tablets in 24 hours.

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

Common side effects of Fexofenadine may include:

• Use caution if you have kidney disease, since fexofenadine may clear more slowly from the body.
• Although Fexofen 120 Tablet is considered non-drowsy for many people, it can still affect alertness in some patients.
