Description

What is Allevia and what is it used for?
Allevia is a non-drowsy medication used to treat symptoms of hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis), including sneezing, watery or red eyes, and a runny, itchy, or blocked nose. It contains 120mg of the active ingredient, fexofenadine hydrochloride.

 

How does Allevia work to relieve hay fever symptoms?
When exposed to pollen, your body releases histamine, causing allergic symptoms like red eyes, watery eyes, and a runny nose. Allevia works by blocking histamine receptors, stopping the allergic reaction and preventing these symptoms from occurring.

 

How do I use Allevia?
For adults 18 years and older, take one tablet of Allevia with water once daily, preferably before a meal.

 

How long does it take Allevia to relieve hay fever symptoms?
Allevia starts working within an hour of taking it and provides relief for up to 24 hours.

 

What are the benefits of taking Allevia?

• Fast relief from symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, headache, and itchy, watery eyes
• Suitable for both occasional and persistent hay fever symptoms
• Only one dose per day required
• Non-drowsy antihistamine

 

What is the difference between Allevia and Fexofenadine?
Allevia and Fexofenadine are both brand names for the same medication containing the active ingredient, fexofenadine hydrochloride. Allevia is the branded version, while Fexofenadine is the generic form. Both work the same way to treat hay fever symptoms.

 

Does Allevia make you drowsy?
Allevia is classified as a ‘non-drowsy’ antihistamine, so it is unlikely to cause tiredness or drowsiness. If you experience drowsiness, consult your doctor for an alternative treatment.

 

Who should not take Allevia?
Do not take Allevia if you are allergic to fexofenadine hydrochloride or any other ingredients in the tablet. Consult your doctor before use if you have liver or kidney issues, a history of heart disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

 

What if you forget to take a dose of Allevia?
If you miss a dose, do not double up on the next one. Simply take your next tablet as usual at the regular time.
