Indications:
TELFAST 120 MG is commonly used for:
-
Hay fever (Allergic rhinitis): Treats symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and nasal congestion caused by pollen or other allergens.
-
Hives (Urticaria): Helps reduce itching, redness, and swelling caused by allergic reactions.
-
Other allergic conditions: Effective in treating various forms of allergic reactions that involve histamine release.
TELFAST 120 MG works by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical that is released during an allergic reaction, thus helping to reduce allergic symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes.
Pharmacology:
TELFAST 120 MG contains Fexofenadine, a second-generation antihistamine. Unlike first-generation antihistamines, fexofenadine has fewer sedative effects, making it less likely to cause drowsiness. It works by selectively inhibiting the histamine receptors (H1 receptors) in the body, which play a key role in allergic reactions. By blocking these receptors, TELFAST reduces symptoms like itching, sneezing, and nasal congestion, without significantly affecting the central nervous system.
Dosage:
-
For adults and children above 12 years: The usual dose is 120 mg once daily.
-
For seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever): A single dose of 120 mg daily is usually sufficient.
-
For chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives): Take 120 mg once daily.
Always follow the doctor’s instructions for dosage, and do not exceed the recommended dose.
Administration:
-
Take TELFAST 120 MG orally with a glass of water.
-
It can be taken with or without food.
-
Swallow the tablet whole, do not crush or chew it.
Interaction:
-
Antacids: Some antacids containing aluminum or magnesium may reduce the absorption of fexofenadine, so it’s best to take TELFAST at least 2 hours before or after using an antacid.
-
Erythromycin or Ketoconazole: These medications may increase the concentration of fexofenadine in the blood and should be used with caution.
-
Fruit juices (e.g., grapefruit, orange): May reduce the effectiveness of fexofenadine. Avoid taking these with TELFAST.
Always inform your healthcare provider about other medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.
