Fegra 180 Tablet

How Fegra 180mg Tablet Works

Fegra 180mg Tablet works by blocking histamine receptors in the body. Histamine is a chemical released during allergic reactions, which binds to certain receptors, leading to symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and swelling. Fexofenadine, the active ingredient in Fegra, prevents histamine from binding to these receptors, reducing the severity of allergic responses. Unlike many first-generation antihistamines, Fegra is non-sedative, making it suitable for daily use without causing drowsiness.
