Description

When hayfever strikes, it can make everyday life a challenge. Allevia 120mg Tablets are specifically designed to tackle common hayfever symptoms, helping you find comfort and clarity. Each tablet contains 120 mg of fexofenadine hydrochloride, an advanced antihistamine known for its efficacy without causing drowsiness in most users.

How Allevia 120mg Tablets Work

Fexofenadine hydrochloride works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms when pollen or other allergens are encountered. By doing so, Allevia 120mg Tablets help to relieve:

  • Sneezing
  • Itchy, runny, or blocked nose
  • Itchy, red, and watery eyes

This medicine starts to relieve your symptoms within 1 hour and continues to work for a full 24 hours, meaning just one tablet a day can provide all-day relief. It's suitable for adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over, making it a convenient choice for many hayfever sufferers.
