Everything You Know About The Best OTC Antihistamines

Fexofenadine

Fexofenadine is great, so great. This antihistamine tackles seasonal allergies to the ground! Yes, what a win! Men, it'll even get rid of hives and itchy skin! But wait, it's even better when your hives are chronic! Hold your horses, though. It also has some side effects! The most common? Obviously, you've got to expect headaches, stuffy nose, sinus pain, sore throat, and back pain. The ones that you need to call you doc right away about? They're chills, fever, fatigue, or a new or worsening cough! Men, you know this one's only good to take with water. Nothing else! You'll need to have an empty stomach when you've got the dissolvable tablets.

Keep your guard up too. Ask your doc about this med first when you're older than 65 or have kidney disease. Watch your other meds too! This one interacts with antacids, so take them 2 hours apart or more. Yes, or more! Review your meds with your doc too. They'll know everything you've got to avoid, like sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and anticonvulsants!
