Telfast film-coated tablets
Fexofenadine is commonly used to alleviate symptoms associated with allergic conditions such as hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis) and allergic reactions to environmental triggers like pollen, dust, or pet dander. It effectively reduces symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny or blocked nose, and itchy, watery eyes by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance produced by the body during allergic reactions.
Fexofenadine functions by blocking the actions of histamine, a naturally occurring substance in the body and found in various foods. When the immune system detects foreign substances like pollen or dust, it releases histamine as a defense mechanism, leading to cellular expansion and swelling. However, this swelling triggers inflammation, causing symptoms such as congestion and hay fever. By inhibiting the effects of histamine, fexofenadine alleviates discomfort induced by pollen or other allergens.
