About Fexofenadine

What is Fexofenadine used for?

Fexofenadine is a non-sedating antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), including:

• Persistent itching
• Raised, red, itchy welts (hives)
• Skin discomfort triggered without an obvious cause

How Fexofenadine Works

Fexofenadine blocks the histamine receptors in the body responsible for allergic reactions. By preventing histamine from binding to its receptors, the medication reduces symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling in people with chronic hives or allergic skin conditions.

Understanding the Condition

What is Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU)?

CSU is a skin condition characterised by the spontaneous appearance of hives (wheals), swelling, or itchiness lasting for more than six weeks. The cause is often unknown, and symptoms can flare up repeatedly without any clear trigger.
