HISTAFREE-SYP 60ML

About

HISTAFREE-SYP 60ML contains Fexofenadine, a second-generation antihistamine that provides effective relief from allergic symptoms without causing significant drowsiness. Fexofenadine selectively blocks histamine H1 receptors, preventing histamine from binding and exerting its effects, which include itching, sneezing, watery eyes, and runny nose. Unlike older antihistamines, Fexofenadine has minimal penetration into the central nervous system, contributing to its non-sedating profile. It is rapidly absorbed after oral administration and has a long duration of action, allowing for convenient once or twice-daily dosing.

This syrup formulation is particularly suitable for children and individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets. It is indicated for the symptomatic relief of seasonal allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). Fexofenadine helps to alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms associated with these allergic conditions, improving the patient's quality of life. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to achieve optimal results and minimize potential side effects. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment guidance.
