Non-sedating antihistamines

As fexofenadine does not go through hepatic biotransformation, hepatic processes cannot be used to interact with other medications. It has been discovered that co-administration of Telfast 120 mg with erythromycin or ketoconazole causes a 2- to 3-fold increase in fexofenadine levels in plasma. When compared to the medication given separately, the adjustments had no influence on the QT interval and were not followed by an increase in unfavorable reactions. There was no evidence of a connection between fexofenadine and omeprazole. However, there was a decrease in bioavailability when Telfast 120 mg was administered 15 minutes before an antacid comprising gels of aluminum and magnesium hydroxide, most likely as a result of binding in the gastrointestinal tract. It is advised to wait two hours between the time Telfast 120 mg is administered and aluminum and magnesium hydroxide-containing antacids.

Those with known hypersensitivity to Telfast 120 mg or any of its components should not use it.

When appropriate, the following frequency rating has been applied: Extremely common: 1/100; Common: 1/100; Uncommon: 1/1,000; Rare: 1/10,000; Very rare: 1/10,000; and Not known: 1/1,000 (frequency cannot be estimated from the available data). Unwanted effects are listed within each frequency grouping in descending order of seriousness. Clinical trials have revealed the following negative effects in adults, with a prevalence comparable to that seen with a placebo: Common nervous system illnesses include headaches, fatigue, and vertigo. Frequent gastrointestinal issues include nausea, along with general issues and issues with the administration site. – Unusual: exhaustion. The following negative consequences have been observed in post-marketing surveillance in adults. They do not occur frequently and their frequency cannot be calculated from the data currently available. Immune system problems, including hypersensitive reactions that include angioedema, tightness in the chest, dyspnea, flushing, and systemic anaphylaxis; Mental illnesses such as anxiety, nightmares, sleeplessness, or excessive dreaming (paroniria); cardiac issues such as palpitations and tachycardia; Diarrhea as a gastrointestinal condition; Disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissues: rash, urticaria, and pruritus.
