I have the fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets in 180 mg dosage. Question: they seem too strong for me--can i split them in half? ## Is there a score line (indent) on the pill? If there is, then it is there specifically for the purpose of cutting the pill in half. Whether or not there is a score line, I would still cut the pill in half if it is needed. Maybe talk to your doctor about getting a lower dose of this medication if you consistently feel the need to use half a dose. NOTE: cutting a pill in half only works if the pill is in tablet form. This just wouldn't work if it is a capsule, since the contents would fall out. Hope this helps! ## thanks for the info. thought this was what i could do. just too much for me in 180 mg dose. thanks again ## I know this is an old topic, but I ...

I am on 2 a day for a very itchy rash over my entire body. Three months now and it's still the same. Please advise. ## Hello, Teresa! How are you? I'm sorry for the rash. Do you mean you've been taking the Fexofenadine for 3 months and it hasn't helped? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Have you consulted a dermatologist? For a proper solution to be found, you need to find a doctor that will discover what's causing the rash. ## What use has sexosenadine hydrocloride? I found some in my daughter's belongings ## Can you please confirm the spelling on the medication bottle? It is likely referring to Fexofenadine. If so, it's used to treat allergies (antihistamine).

I am responding to the person who asked if Fexofenadine would help with chronic hives. I have taken ALLEGRA for about 20 years for Hives. It is the best drug out there! Do not substitute Fexofenadine for Allegra. They do not work the same. Trust me! Try the Allegra! You WON'T be disappointed!!!!! Good luck!!!!!! ## Does the generic instead of name brand really make that much of a difference? Have you experienced depression or vivid/lucid dreams? ## No, Fexofenadine is the active ingredient in Allegra.

can i take more than 180 mg of fexofenadine my eyes are swollen and my throat is drying up i have an epi pen but am not sure when to use it ## Hello, Betty! How are you? The epi pen should be used when you have trouble breathing and you may feel like you are going to lose consciousness, or your family should know to use it, if you lose consciousness and can't communicate with them. There are training videos you can watch for them and it should be shot into the thigh. As to the Fexofenadine, while it can be taken in higher doses, it will not usually help fast enough, if you are having a severe anaphylactic reaction. In such cases, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or your epi pen are the best choices, unless your doctor instructs otherwise, because they work much faster and could save your ...

I have been searching for Fexofenadine hcl / congestion (generic for Allegra D). No major pharmacy seem to have it. It is the only one I find help my allergies. The brand is so expensive. ## Have you tried ordering it from the web? There are many websites that offer it and it would be much easier than running around to more stores to look for it.

Something must be up with the maker of it, but no one seems to no what is going on- in fact few internet searches even result in others searching... it's as if almost no one notices the sudden disappearance. ...

I have a prescription dated 3/02/2010. Are they still good to take? ## Is Fexofenadine Pse 60, 120 mg gluten free? The numbers on the pills are 93 T13. ## Blew, tablets are generally good for one year from the date they were dispensed by your pharmacy, so the expiration date should have been 03/01/2011, after which they start to lose efficacy. It is probably best to see your doctor for a new prescription. Michelle, the inactive ingredients in those tablets are listed as follows: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Croscarmellose Sodium, Magnesium Stearate, Carnuba Wax, Stearic Acid, Silicon Dioxide, Hypromellose and Polyethylene Glycol.

I just tried to order my refill of Fexofenadine from my mail order pharmacy and was told that I could not because it is no longer manufactured do to the fact that Allegra is available over the counter. I was told this occurred on June 7, 2011. Has anyone else had this problem? I ordered from the mail order pharmacy because it was cheaper to get a 90 day supply from them than getting a 30 day supply over the counter. ## No, Allegra/Fexofenadine has not been discontinued, but it is now available over the counter, just as they informed you. You can purchase both the generic and name brand over the counter. A friend of mine just purchased a 90day supply of the generic for $20, OTC. You may want to check with a local pharmacy.

I have an extreme case of HAY FEVER can I take double dose OK? ## This contains the active ingredient Fexofenadine, an antihistamine, in a time released formulation. And I wouldn't suggest doubling up on it, unless your doctor specifically tells you to do so. Though it seems like a safe medication, you could still harm yourself by overdosing on it. If your allergy symptoms are that severe, you may need something that isn't time released and should discuss it with your doctor. Are there any other questions?
