How FEXOFENOD Works

Fexofenadine is a selective peripheral H1-blocker. When an allergen is detected, your immune system releases histamines that cause inflammation, itching, and other symptoms. By binding to the H1 receptors without activating them, tab fexofenadine hydrochloride 180 mg blocks the effects of histamine, preventing symptoms before they even begin.

Unlike first-generation antihistamines, fexofenadine does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier, which significantly reduces the risk of drowsiness—a major benefit for professionals, students, and anyone who needs to stay alert.
