How it works
Fexofenadine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. When you are exposed to allergens, your body releases histamine, which triggers symptoms like sneezing, itching, and runny nose. By blocking histamine receptors, fexofenadine prevents these symptoms from developing, providing relief from allergic reactions.
