It works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic reactions. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Second-generation antihistamine: Fexofenadine HCl is used for the treatment of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever), chronic urticaria (hives), and seasonal allergies. It provides effective symptom relief without causing significant drowsiness.
  • Non-sedating allergy relief: Unlike older antihistamines, it does not cross the blood–brain barrier significantly, making it suitable for daytime use without impairing mental alertness or causing sedation.
  • Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API): Used as the key therapeutic component in a wide range of oral formulations like tablets and suspension syrups, either alone or in combination with decongestants (e.g., pseudoephedrine).
