Fexopen 180 mg Tablet

Fexopen 180 mg Tablet is an oral allergy medicine that contains 180 mg of fexofenadine in each tablet. It belongs to the second-generation antihistamine class and is used to help relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies and hives. Fexopen 180 mg Tablet is a prescription-strength option for people whose symptoms need a higher once-daily dose than lower-strength tablets. It is made by Morepen Laboratories and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Fexofenadine works by blocking histamine, a natural substance your body releases during allergic reactions. In this tablet form, Fexopen 180 mg Tablet helps reduce sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and hives without causing strong drowsiness in most people.

Fexopen 180 mg Tablet is the higher-strength tablet in this brand line, compared with Fexopen 120 mg Tablet. A doctor may choose the 180 mg strength when a person needs stronger once-daily allergy control, especially for persistent symptoms or hives. Because this is the 180 mg tablet, it should be used only as directed for that person’s needs rather than being treated like a routine starter dose.

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

Each Fexopen 180 mg Tablet provides 180 mg of fexofenadine per tablet. For many adults, this strength is taken once daily, but the exact dose and duration are decided by the doctor based on symptoms and medical history. Do not exceed the prescribed amount; taking more than directed does not usually improve relief and may increase side effects.

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