Fexofenadine (generic Telfast)

Some medications will interfere with Fexofenadine and increase your chance of side effects. As always, it’s important to tell your clinician if you are taking any other medications when you request Fexofenadine. 

If you are taking indigestion remedies containing aluminium or magnesium you should leave two hours between times that you take Fexofenadine and the remedy. 

If you know what the cause of your allergic rhinitis is, trying to limit your exposure to this allergen (the thing that triggers your symptoms) should help reduce your symptoms. Regular cleaning of the nasal passages with a salt water solution should also help keep your nose free of irritants. 

Some people use steroid nasal sprays to help manage their allergic rhinitis symptoms. You could also combine Fexofenadine with a steroid nasal spray or decongestant.

Your local LloydsPharmacy will also have a range of eye-drops and nasal sprays that can also help with hay fever symptoms. These may be suitable to use with Fexofenadine, ask your pharmacist for advice.
