FEXONY-30 Suspension is an oral pediatric medication primarily used for the treatment of various allergic conditions in children. It contains fexofenadine hydrochloride as its active ingredient, which is a non-drowsy antihistamine. Fexofenadine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body responsible for allergic symptoms.
Key features and uses:
Indication: Relief of symptoms associated with allergies such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, nasal congestion, itching, hives (urticaria), eczema, conjunctivitis, reactions to insect bites, and some food allergies.
Mechanism: Selectively inhibits peripheral H1 receptors, reducing histamine-mediated allergic responses.
Formulation: Pediatric oral suspension, typically dosed at 30 mg per 5 mL.
Onset and duration: Begins to work within 1–2 hours; effects last for 12–14 hours.
Common side effects:
Headache
Drowsiness (rare, as it is a non-sedating antihistamine)
Dizziness
Nausea
Stomach upset
Precautions:
Use with caution in children with kidney or liver impairment; dose adjustment may be necessary.
Avoid fruit juices (like grapefruit, orange, apple) during therapy, as they may reduce absorption.
Consult a doctor before use in pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Storage:
Store at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
