Question 3

What is fexofenadine and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

Fexofenadine is a second-generation, non-drowsy antihistamine used to treat the symptoms of hay fever, conjunctivitis, eczema, and hives in adults and children over 12.

Question 4

How does fexofenadine work?

Accepted Answer

Fexofenadine works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural chemical in the body that triggers allergic symptoms when you encounter allergens. By binding to H1 receptors, it prevents swelling, itching, and mucus production.

Question 5

How should I take fexofenadine tablets?

Accepted Answer

You should take your fexofenadine tablet with a drink of water before a meal. Avoid taking the medication with fruit juices (such as orange, grapefruit, or apple) as these can significantly reduce the amount of medicine your body absorbs.

Question 6

What is the correct fexofenadine dosage?

Accepted Answer

The standard dosage for adults and children aged 12 and over is one 120mg tablet daily for hay fever, or one 180mg tablet daily for chronic hives. You should never exceed the maximum dose of 180mg in a 24-hour period.

Question 7

How long does fexofenadine take to work?

Accepted Answer

Fexofenadine typically starts to work within 1 hour of ingestion, with its peak effect occurring approximately 2 to 3 hours after taking the tablet.

Question 8

Can I drink alcohol with fexofenadine?

Accepted Answer

It is generally advised to avoid alcohol while taking fexofenadine as it can increase the risk of feeling dizzy or sleepy. While it is non-drowsy, alcohol can amplify its effects on the central nervous system.

Question 9

Can I buy fexofenadine over the counter in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 120mg fexofenadine is available over the counter (OTC) for hay fever. However, the higher 180mg strength and larger pack sizes for chronic conditions still require a consultation with a pharmacist or a prescription.

Question 10

Does fexofenadine cause weight gain?

Accepted Answer

There is no significant clinical evidence to suggest that fexofenadine causes weight gain. Unlike some older antihistamines, its modern formula does not typically affect body weight.
