Allerfen 180 Mg 20 Tablets

Description:

Allerfen 180 mg 20 tablets is a prescription/over-the-counter antihistamine medicine containing fexofenadine, a second-generation H1 receptor antagonist used for the relief of allergy symptoms. It is designed to provide long-lasting, non-drowsy relief from seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (allergic skin rash and hives). Allerfen 180 mg is suitable for adults and adolescents as directed by a healthcare professional and helps control sneezing, runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, and itchy skin caused by histamine release during allergic reactions.

Indications:

• Relief of symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), such as sneezing, runny or blocked nose, nasal itching, itchy or watery eyes, and throat irritation.
• Treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria, including itchy skin, redness, and raised wheals (hives).
• Helps reduce allergy-related discomfort and improves daily functioning and quality of life during allergy seasons or persistent urticaria.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Fexofenadine hydrochloride – 180 mg per film-coated tablet (second-generation H1 antihistamine).
• Excipients (inactive ingredients) such as tablet fillers, binders, coating agents, and colorants may be present; detailed excipient list is not available in the provided information.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults and adolescents (12 years and older): The usual recommended dose is 1 tablet of Allerfen 180 mg once daily, or as directed by your physician.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew.
• Take at the same time each day for consistent symptom control.
• Can be taken with or without food; however, avoid taking with large amounts of grapefruit, orange, or apple juice as these may reduce absorption.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by your doctor.
• Use in children under 12 years of age should only be under medical supervision and with an appropriate pediatric formulation and dose.
• 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 tablet.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective, long-lasting relief from seasonal allergy 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 antihistamine with a lower tendency to cause drowsiness compared to many first-generation antihistamines, allowing better daytime performance.
• Rapid onset of action, helping to control allergy symptoms throughout the day with once-daily dosing.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use Allerfen 180 mg if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to fexofenadine or any of the other ingredients in the product.
• Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment or liver disease; dose adjustment or medical supervision may be required.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, as antihistamines may rarely be associated with cardiac effects in predisposed individuals.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a healthcare professional.
• Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all other medicines you are taking, especially other antihistamines, certain antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), or antifungals (e.g., ketoconazole), as interactions may occur.
• Avoid taking with large quantities of fruit juices (grapefruit, orange, apple) as they may reduce the effectiveness of fexofenadine.
• Although fexofenadine is generally non-sedating, some individuals may still experience drowsiness; if affected, do not drive or operate machinery.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease beyond its approved indications.
• Keep out of reach of children.

• Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, or fatigue. These are usually mild and transient.
• Less common side effects can include drowsiness, insomnia, nervousness, or gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Rare but serious allergic reactions (rash, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing) may occur. Stop use and seek immediate medical attention if these appear.
• If you experience persistent or bothersome side effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
