CHILDREN'S FEXOFENADINE HYDROCHLORIDE ALLERGY vs DISOMER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Fexofenadine is a selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonist. It inhibits histamine release from mast cells and basophils, reducing allergic symptoms.
Selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist; also blocks alpha-1 adrenergic, histamine H1, and muscarinic M1 receptors.
Fexofenadine hydrochloride 60 mg orally twice daily or 180 mg orally once daily.
