MD: Hello: you need to address this complication with your doctor to have the doctor switch you to a different class of medicine. Allegra (fexofenadine) like all medicines have complications and require careful management to insure a severe reaction does not result. Best regards: mark reed, dpm www.Footpain.Org.
