Product Information:

FEXET 60mg Tablets contain Fexofenadine Hydrochloride 60mg, a second-generation antihistamine used for the relief of symptoms associated with allergic conditions. Fexofenadine is a selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonist that does not significantly cross the blood-brain barrier, making it non-sedating in most individuals. This lower-strength formulation is suitable for mild allergies, pediatric use (in adolescents), or twice-daily dosing regimens.
