Fexo 60mg Tablet contains fexofenadine hydrochloride 60mg, a second-generation antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis and certain allergic skin conditions.

Fexofenadine works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance released during an allergic reaction. It helps reduce symptoms such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching associated with hives.
