Question

I cannot smell or taste for 2 months Flonase allegra (fexofenadine) does not work.?

Answer 1

20-30 minutes: Oral antihistamines like Allegra (fexofenadine) need to be absorbed by the digestive system and distributed thru the body before they are effective--about 20-30 minutes. This lag time is usually acceptable for minor allergy symptoms. But if you have asthma, swelling in the throat, or anaphylaxis, taking a quick-acting rescue med like Epinephrine or albuterol can be life-saving. Ask your doctor for more info.

Answer 3

Fexofenadine: Fexofenadine.

Answer 4

Fexofenadine: It is fexofenadine.

Answer 5

Allegra (fexofenadine): Fexofenadine Hcl.

Answer 6

Stop taking it.: The half life of Allegra (fexofenadine) is 14.5 hours in normal individuals. It is metabolized mainly through the liver and GI tract so if you have liver disease it may be metabolized slower. This means that in a normal individual about half of the medication is left after 14.5 hours.

Answer 7

Call poison control: It depends on how much you take, and what other medical conditions you have. When in doubt call poison control, contact your doctor, or go to the emergency room.

Answer 10

For allergies: Allegra (fexofenadine) is an antihistamine approved in the treatment of seasonal allergies as well as hives. It is now available over-the-counter without a prescription.

Answer 11

Many reasons.: Allegra is an antihistamine which can be used for itching of the skin, nose, eyes. It is mainly used to treat allergic reactions and to relieve seasonal allergic eye and nose symptoms. It is not very effective for nasal congestion unless used with another medication such as a nasal steroid or oral decongestant.

Answer 12

No drowsiness: The advantage of Allegra over other antihistamines like claritin, zyrtec & especially Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is that it never causes drowsiness. Allegra is designed not to cross from the bloodstream into the brain. If the medication can't enter the brain then it can't combine with histamine receptors there. Blockage of these receptors by other antihistamines results in drowsiness.
