Fexo 120mg Tablet contains fexofenadine hydrochloride 120mg, a second-generation antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis and other allergic conditions.

Fexofenadine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance involved in allergic reactions. It can help reduce symptoms such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy or watery eyes, and other allergy-related discomfort. It is generally less likely to cause drowsiness than older antihistamines.
