Indications
Fexofenadine Hydrochloride is used to treat the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis in both adults and children. It's also used to treat the cutaneous signs of chronic idiopathic urticaria that aren't too severe.
Pharmacology
Fexofenadine Hydrochloride is an antihistamine that works by blocking peripheral H1 receptors. After oral administration, it is rapidly absorbed and reaches maximal plasma concentration in 2-3 hours. It doesn't appear to be able to pass through the blood-brain barrier.
