Allegra Information:
Allegra (generic name: Fexofenadine) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of allergies including hay fever. Allegra is an antihistamine, which works by reducing the natural chemical histamine in the body and therefore reducing sneezing, watering eyes, runny/stuffy nose, skin rash, hives and itchy nose and eyes. Allegra may also be prescribed for the symptoms of the common cold and rhinitis. Another use is in patients with uncomplicated skin problems caused by chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives) in adults and children. Allegra allows patients with allergies to enjoy the outdoors without the symptoms flaring up. Allegra is a strong allergy medication, which is often prescribed if weaker medications have had no effect. Allegra is an immediate action medication and the effects last up to 24 hours. Some patients may be prescribed Allegra only during months when pollen count is high. It is an over the counter medication, although the higher dosage is available only by prescription.
Allegra Side Effects:
As with any drug, there may be side effects from taking Allegra which include skin rash, itching, dizziness, drowsiness and fatigue, insomnia, nausea, change in appetite, dry mouth, restlessness, stomach pain, constipation, memory problems and ringing in the ears. More serious side effects may include changes in heartbeat, hallucinations, unusual behaviour, increased blood pressure, infrequent urination, bruising, feeling weak, fever, confusion, and blurred vision. If you experience any side effects you must seek immediate medical attention for safety.
Allegra Directions:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Allegra you should not take it, and should inform your doctor. You must consult your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, including kidney or liver disease, diabetes, glaucoma, thyroid conditions, enlarged prostate, urinary problems, heart disease or high blood pressure. It is very important to also consult your doctor if you are taking any other medications as they may interact with Allegra, such as ketoconazole and erythromycin. Allegra is not suitable for children under 4. Giving cough and cold medicines to young children can be fatal and you should always seek a doctor’s advice before giving medicine to children. The consumption of alcohol may increase side effects of Allegra and should therefore be avoided.
