Description

ALTIVA 120 Tablet contains Fexofenadine Hydrochloride 120 mg, a non-drowsy antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms. It works by blocking histamine, a chemical responsible for allergic reactions in the body.

Uses:

• Relief from seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) symptoms such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and watery eyes.

• Treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria (long-term hives) with symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling.

• Provides quick relief from allergy-related discomfort without significant sedation.

• Useful for individuals needing daytime allergy control as it does not usually cause drowsiness.

Side Effects:
ALTIVA 120 is generally well tolerated, but some individuals may experience mild side effects.

• Common: Headache, dizziness, drowsiness (rare compared to older antihistamines), nausea, indigestion, or fatigue.

• Less common: Dry mouth, stomach upset, or back pain.

• Rare but serious: Rapid heartbeat, chest tightness, or difficulty breathing (requires immediate medical attention).

It is advisable to avoid alcohol while taking this medicine as it can enhance drowsiness in sensitive individuals. Patients with kidney or liver disease should use it under medical supervision. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should take it only if prescribed.
