Fexakt 180mg Tablet

Fexakt 180mg Tablet contains Fexofenadine (180mg), an antihistamine that provides fast and effective relief from allergy symptoms. It is commonly used to treat conditions like hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). Fexakt works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body responsible for allergic reactions, such as sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. Its non-drowsy formula ensures that you can go about your day without the fatigue or drowsiness typically associated with other allergy medications.

How Fexakt 180mg Tablet Works
