Uses

Allergic rhinitis (seasonal
Perennial) with symptoms such as sneezing
Runny
Blocked nose
Itchy
Watery eyes
Allergy-associated cough or wheeze as advised by doctor

Benefits

In Allergic rhinitis: Telekast F 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: Telekast F calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching: Telekast F 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: Telekast F 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 Telekast F are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Headache
dizziness
nausea
stomach pain
diarrhoea
dry mouth
fatigue
drowsiness (rare)
rash

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

Take as prescribed by the doctor, usually 1 tablet once daily. Can be taken with or without food; take at the same time each day and swallow whole with water. Avoid fruit juices (apple/orange/grapefruit) close to dosing as they may reduce fexofenadine absorption.

How it works

Fexofenadine is a non-sedating antihistamine that blocks H1 receptors to reduce sneezing, itching and runny nose. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks inflammatory leukotrienes, reducing nasal congestion and allergy-related inflammation.
