Indication of Fexo 60mg Tablet

Fexofenadine Hydrochloride is used in adults and children (aged above 12 years) to provide relief from the symptoms of

  • Hay Fever (Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis)
  • Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria
Pharmacology

Fexofenadine hydrochloride is an antihistamine medication that primarily acts as a selective peripheral H1 receptor antagonist. Here are some important points regarding its pharmacokinetics:

  • After oral administration, fexofenadine is rapidly absorbed, and peak plasma concentrations are reached within 2-3 hours.
  • Approximately 60-70% of fexofenadine is bound to plasma proteins.
  • Metabolism of fexofenadine occurs to a limited extent, with about 50% of the total dose being metabolized. This metabolism primarily takes place in the intestinal mucosa, while only 0.5% to 1.5% of the dose undergoes hepatic biotransformation mediated by the cytochrome P450 system.
  • The elimination half-life of fexofenadine is reported to be around 14 hours. However, in individuals with renal impairment, the half-life may be prolonged.
  • Fexofenadine is primarily excreted in the feces, with only a small amount (approximately 10%) excreted in the urine.
  • It is worth noting that fexofenadine does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier, which contributes to its selective peripheral H1 receptor antagonism and helps minimize sedation and other central nervous system side effects.

These pharmacokinetic properties provide insights into the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of fexofenadine in the body.
