Nexofex 120 mg Tablet

Nexofex 120 mg Tablet is a prescription allergy medicine that contains 120 mg of fexofenadine in each tablet. It belongs to the second-generation antihistamine class and is used to help relieve symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching. Nexofex 120 mg Tablet may also be used for hives in some patients when a clinician chooses this strength. This tablet is meant for adults and children old enough and well enough for a doctor to assess the dose appropriately.

How it works: Fexofenadine works by blocking histamine, a natural substance your body releases during an allergic reaction. By reducing histamine’s effect, Nexofex 120 mg Tablet helps ease allergy symptoms without causing the same level of drowsiness seen with some older antihistamines.

Nexofex 120 mg Tablet is a single-strength tablet, so there are no lower or higher sibling strengths in this product line to compare it with. Because it is a 120 mg tablet, a doctor may choose it when a standard once-daily fexofenadine tablet strength is appropriate for allergy relief in someone who can swallow tablets. It is not a chewable or liquid form, so it fits patients who can take a whole tablet with water.

• Seasonal allergy symptoms

• Sneezing

• Swallow Nexofex 120 mg Tablet whole with water; do not chew or crush it.
• Take it at the same time each day if your prescriber tells you to use it regularly.
• Avoid taking it with fruit juice such as orange, apple, or grapefruit juice, because it can reduce absorption.
• Do not take it together with aluminum- or magnesium-containing antacids; separate the doses as directed by your pharmacist or doctor.
• You can take it with or without food, but follow the same routine each day if possible.
• Use only the dose your doctor recommends for your condition; do not take extra tablets for faster relief.

Each Nexofex 120 mg Tablet provides 120 mg of fexofenadine per tablet. The usual schedule is one tablet by mouth once daily for allergic rhinitis, but the exact frequency and total daily amount should be decided by a doctor based on age, symptoms, and medical history. Do not exceed the prescribed dose, and do not assume that taking more will work better.

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