How does fexofenadine relieve the symptoms of hay fever?

Fexofenadine is a non-drowsy medicine known as an antihistamine. When you come into contact with something you’re allergic to, such as pollen, your body produces a substance called histamine, causing watery eyes and itchy skin to name just a few symptoms. Fenofexadine works by blocking the effects of histamine to reduce any unpleasant symptoms.

 

What is hay fever?

Hay fever refers to an allergy to pollen, and there many different types, like tree, grass and plantain pollen. Pollen particles swarm the air all year round, but it typically worsens when it’s warm, humid and windy between the months of March and September.

It presents symptoms similar to the common cold, however, hay fever can last for weeks and months at a time. If you suffer from asthma, hay fever may trouble you more, so always speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you’re struggling.

 

Is Allevia suitable for children?

Allevia is suitable for children aged 12 years and over. If you’re looking for a hay fever treatment for a child under the age of 12, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice on alternative treatment options.

 

Is Allevia suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women?

Allevia should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a medical professional to do so. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, you must ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any new medicine.
