Telfast 120 Mg 20 Tablets

Telfast 120 Mg 20 Tablets

Description:

Telfast 120 mg 20 tablets is a prescription-strength oral antihistamine medicine containing fexofenadine, a second-generation h1 receptor antagonist. It is used for the relief of allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), as well as relief of symptoms of chronic idiopathic urticaria (chronic hives). Fexofenadine works by selectively blocking peripheral h1 histamine receptors, helping to control allergic reactions without causing significant drowsiness in most patients.

Indications:

• Relief of symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), including sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy nose, itchy or watery eyes, and throat irritation.
• Treatment of symptoms associated with chronic idiopathic urticaria (chronic hives), such as itching and raised, red skin welts.
• Management of allergy-related nasal and ocular symptoms triggered by pollen, dust, animal dander, or other environmental allergens.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Fexofenadine hydrochloride – 120 mg per film-coated tablet (equivalent to 120 mg fexofenadine). This is a second-generation h1 antihistamine.
• Other excipients (such as tablet core and coating agents) are present but detailed composition and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website. Please refer to the official package leaflet for the full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults and adolescents 12 years and older: The usual recommended dose is 1 tablet (120 mg) once daily.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew.
• Can be taken with or without food; however, avoid taking with large amounts of grapefruit, orange, or apple juice as they may reduce absorption.
• Take at the same time each day for consistent symptom control.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by your doctor.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective 24-hour relief from seasonal allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
• Helps reduce itching and the number and size of hives in chronic idiopathic urticaria.
• Second-generation antihistamine with low penetration into the brain, associated with minimal drowsiness in most users compared to first-generation antihistamines.
