About Fexyfin Suspension

Fexyfin Suspension is primarily used to treat various kinds of allergies. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your or your child’s body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens.’ Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.

Fexyfin Suspension contains fexofenadine, a non-drowsy antihistamine. It is less likely to make your child feel sleepy than other antihistamines. However, some people still find it makes them feel quite sleepy, which is used to treat allergies as it blocks the effects of a chemical messenger known as histamine, which is naturally involved in allergic reactions. Fexyfin Suspension is widely used to treat hay fever (an allergy caused by pollen or dust), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), eczema (dermatitis), hives (red, raised patches or dots), reactions to insect bites and stings and some food allergies.

In some cases, Fexyfin Suspension may cause headaches, nausea, or dizziness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if you notice any of these side effects persist or bother your child, inform your doctor immediately.

Inform your doctor about your child's entire medical history. Other drugs or supplements should not be combined with Fexyfin Suspension unless a doctor advises. Do not use this medicine unless prescribed by the doctor.
