Telfast (commonly know as Allegra in the US) is a fast acting non-sedating antihistamine. Telfast (Allegra) is designed to relieve the symptoms of hayfever (seasonal allergic rhinitis), and allergies (either indoor or outdoor). Typically these symptoms will include sneezing, blocked or runny nose, watery eyes and red sore eyes. Telfast (Allegra) accomplishes this by blocking the actions of histamines in the body, hence the term antihistamines.
Telfast (Allegra) is also effective in relieving the symptoms associated with hives or itchy skin rash (urticaria) including swelling related to allergy, swelling related to hives, itchy skin rashes and itch caused by hives.
As a result of Telfast (Allegra) being a non-sedating anti-histamine it will not make you drowsy or slow down your reactions times allowing you to go about your activities as normal.
The active ingredient in Telfast (Allegra) is called ‘fexofenadine hydrochloride’ and each capsule contains either 60mg, 120mg or 180mg or enough for 24 hours protection against symptoms.
