Alertam 120 Mg Tablets

Alertam 120 Mg Tablets

Description:

Alertam 120 mg tablets are a prescription-strength oral antihistamine medicine containing fexofenadine, a second-generation h1 receptor antagonist. They are used for the relief of allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy/red eyes, and skin itching caused by allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). Fexofenadine is a non-sedating antihistamine, designed to provide effective 24-hour allergy control with minimal drowsiness, making it suitable for daytime use while maintaining normal daily activities.

Indications:

• Treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), including symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy nose, itchy or watery eyes, and throat irritation.
• Relief of symptoms associated with chronic idiopathic urticaria (chronic hives), including itchy skin, redness, and raised wheals.
• Management of allergy symptoms triggered by environmental allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and molds.
• Helps reduce histamine-mediated allergic reactions in the upper respiratory tract and skin.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Fexofenadine hydrochloride – 120 mg per film-coated tablet (exact salt form and excipients may vary by manufacturer; full excipient list is not available in the provided data).
• Inactive ingredients (excipients) such as fillers, binders, coating agents, and colorants are present but specific names and concentrations are not available.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults and adolescents 12 years and older: The usual recommended dose is 1 tablet (120 mg) once daily, or as directed by your physician.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
• Alertam 120 mg tablets may be taken with or without food; however, avoid taking with large amounts of grapefruit, orange, or apple juice, as these may reduce absorption.
• Take the dose at approximately the same time each day for consistent symptom control.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose or frequency without medical advice.
• Patients with kidney or liver impairment, the elderly, or those on other medications should consult a doctor for individualized dosing recommendations.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief from seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy/watery eyes.
• Helps reduce itching, redness, and the number and size of hives in chronic idiopathic urticaria.
• Second-generation non-sedating antihistamine with a lower tendency to cause drowsiness compared to first-generation antihistamines, supporting normal daytime functioning.
• Rapid onset and long-lasting action (up to 24 hours) for once-daily dosing convenience and sustained allergy control.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to fexofenadine or any component of the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment, liver impairment, or cardiovascular disease; dose adjustment or medical supervision may be required.
• Although fexofenadine is considered non-sedating, some individuals may still experience dizziness or drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Avoid taking with large quantities of grapefruit, orange, or apple juice, as these may decrease the absorption and effectiveness of fexofenadine.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are taking other medications, especially other antihistamines, certain antibiotics, antifungals, or heart medications.
