It is well-tolerated, does not cross the blood-brain barrier significantly, and hence does not cause sedation in most individuals.

How Does It Work?
Fexofenadine, the active component in FEXOFENOD 180, works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released by the immune system during allergic reactions. By inhibiting H1 histamine receptors, it prevents symptoms like itching, swelling, redness, and nasal congestion. As a second-generation antihistamine, it provides strong allergy relief without entering the brain in significant amounts, thus avoiding drowsiness or impaired alertness.
