Telfast 180 mg is suitable for adults and adolescents as directed by a healthcare professional and is produced by Sanofi, a well-known global pharmaceutical company.

Indications:

• Relief of symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, and throat irritation.

• Helps reduce allergy-related discomfort during exposure to common allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, and molds.
