Dosage

Mechanism of Action
Fexofenadine, the active ingredient in Xonadine, is a selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist. It works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. By preventing histamine from binding to its receptors, Fexofenadine reduces sneezing, runny nose, itching, and other allergy symptoms without causing drowsiness.
Side Effects
Xonadine is generally well-tolerated. Common side effects, if any, may include headache, drowsiness, nausea, or dizziness. These are usually mild and resolve on their own. Serious allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention.
Warning
Do not take Xonadine if you are allergic to Fexofenadine or any of the ingredients. Use with caution if you have kidney disease, as dosage adjustments may be needed. Avoid taking with aluminum or magnesium-containing antacids, as they may reduce Xonadine’s effectiveness.
Important Information
Take Xonadine exactly as prescribed. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If your allergy symptoms do not improve or worsen after a few days, consult your healthcare provider. Keep Xonadine out of reach of children. Store at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Xonadine is not a substitute for avoidance of known allergens; use it as part of a comprehensive allergy management plan.
