This section contains in-depth articles about seasonal allergic rhinitis. You'll also find a concise summary of product information about Allegra® and Allegra-D® (fexofenadine HCl 60 mg/pseudoephedrine HCl 120 mg) extended-release tablets and we've provided you with a Glossary of common allergy terminology to help you make sense out of it all.
Allegra-D is used for seasonal nasal allergies with nasal congestion in patients 12 and over. Because Allegra-D contains pseudoephedrine (the decongestant in most over-the-counter allergy medicines), Allegra-D must not be taken if you are also taking MAO inhibitors (medicines that treat depression) or if you retain urine or have glaucoma, severe high blood pressure, or severe heart disease. Also, let your doctor know before you take Allegra-D if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, glaucoma, thyroid disease, impaired kidney function, or symptoms of an enlarged prostate such as difficulty urinating. The most commonly reported adverse experiences with Allegra-D compared to pseudoephedrine alone were headache (13.0% vs 17.4%), insomnia (12.6% vs 13.3%), and nausea (7.4% vs 5.0%).
