CDC Guidelines
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends:
- Using evidence-based, non-sedating antihistamines like fexofenadine for treating allergic rhinitis, especially when daytime alertness is necessary.
- Following your healthcare professional’s advice for dosing and use.
- Avoiding allergen exposure when possible, and using medication as a supplement for unavoidable exposures.
Consult your healthcare provider if allergy symptoms persist, change, or worsen.
Mechanism of Action
Fexofenadine HCl is a selective, non-sedating antihistamine. It works by blocking H1 histamine receptors in the body, preventing histamine—a key cause of allergy symptoms—from attaching and triggering the allergic response. This provides prompt and sustained symptom relief without causing drowsiness, because it does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
Directions for Use

- Take one tablet with water every 12 hours; do not exceed two tablets in 24 hours.
