HHFEXO 180 TAB

About

HHFEXO 180 TAB is an antihistamine medication containing fexofenadine, a second-generation H1-receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Unlike older antihistamines, fexofenadine is non-drowsy, meaning it is less likely to cause sedation, making it suitable for daytime use.

This medication is primarily used to relieve symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). It effectively reduces sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, itchy nose or throat, and skin itching and rashes, providing significant relief from allergic reactions without impairing alertness. Its targeted action on histamine receptors ensures symptomatic relief while maintaining cognitive function, making it suitable for daily activities.
