Uses

Allergic rhinitis (seasonal
Perennial) with symptoms such as sneezing
Runny
Blocked nose
Itchy
Watery eyes
Allergy symptoms where leukotriene-mediated congestion is prominent

Benefits

In Allergic rhinitis: Allegra M blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
In Hives and skin allergy: Allegra M calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching: Allegra M relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
In Allergic asthma: Allegra M reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.

Side effects

Most side effects of Allegra M are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Headache
dizziness
drowsiness (rare)
nausea
abdominal pain
dry mouth
fatigue
diarrhea
sore throat

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Tablet for oral use. Take as prescribed, usually once daily, with or without food; swallow whole with water. Avoid taking with fruit juices (apple/orange/grapefruit) close to the dose as they may reduce fexofenadine absorption.

How it works

Fexofenadine is a second-generation H1 antihistamine that blocks histamine action to relieve sneezing, itching and watery eyes. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks leukotriene D4, helping reduce nasal congestion and allergy-related inflammation.
