Fexo 120 mg Tablet

Fexo 120 mg is Square Pharmaceuticals' fexofenadine brand, a second-generation antihistamine that relieves allergy symptoms without causing significant drowsiness.

It blocks H₁ histamine receptors, controlling sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes and skin rashes.

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
• Perennial allergic rhinitis
• Chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives)
• Allergic skin itching

Adults and children 12+ years: One 120 mg tablet once daily for allergic rhinitis. For chronic urticaria, doctors often prescribe 180 mg once daily.

Take with water; avoid taking with fruit juice as it can reduce absorption.

Usually well tolerated. Possible effects:

• Headache
• Mild drowsiness (much less than older antihistamines)
• Dizziness
• Nausea, dry mouth

Caution: Although classed as non-sedating, assess how it affects you before driving or operating machinery. Use cautiously in kidney impairment — dose adjustment may be needed. Do not take antacids containing aluminium or magnesium within 2 hours of Fexo.

Aluminium/magnesium antacids reduce fexofenadine absorption. Erythromycin and ketoconazole can raise its blood level. Avoid taking with fruit juices (apple, orange, grapefruit).

Hypersensitivity to fexofenadine or any component of the formulation.

Use in pregnancy only if clearly needed (US FDA category C). Caution in breastfeeding — consult your doctor first.

Store below 30°C, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
