Fexon tablets are a second-generation antihistamine used to relieve the symptoms of allergies and hives. Fexon works by blocking the effect of histamine, a chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. Fexon is significantly less drowsy than first-generation antihistamines, making it a suitable choice for people who need to stay awake and alert during the day.

Fexon tablets contain one active ingredient:
Fexofenadine hydrochloride: An antihistamine that blocks histamine H1 receptors, preventing histamine from binding to these receptors and thus reducing allergy symptoms.
