Allegra is an antihistamine in the form of tablet. It is also known as second-generation antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. This natural chemical histamine can lead to allergies with symptoms like sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Allegra does not cause sedation and is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for use by pilots.
Allergra is composed of fexofenadine hydrochloride molecule, that blocks the action of histamine at the H1 receptor (signal receptors in neurons), helping to relieve allergic reactions.
Fexofenadine helps in relieving symptoms associated with seasonal and year-round allergies including sneezing, itchy palate, runny nose, and itchy, tearing, and redness of the eyes. It is also used to relieve the symptoms associated with an allergic skin reaction (chronic idiopathic urticaria) including hives and itchy skin
