Fexofenadine
Fexofenadine (brand names: Almerg, Telfast, Treathay) is an antihistamine medicine that helps with the symptoms of allergies.[1] Fexofenadine is known as a non-drowsy antihistamine.[1] It is less likely to make people feel sleepy than some other antihistamines. It comes as tablets. It is used to treat:[1]
- hay fever
- conjunctivitis (red, itchy eyes)
- eczema
- hives (urticaria)
- reactions to insect bites and stings
- some food allergies
Fexofenadine is classed as a non-drowsy antihistamine, but some people still find it makes them feel quite sleepy.
