How does Fexofenadine work?
Fexofenadine works selectively on histamine-1 receptors that are located in our body, other than the central nervous system and are called peripheral histamine receptors.
As it acts on these receptors, it is less likely to cause drowsiness compared with some older antihistamines.
Fexofenadine is known to bind to the histamine receptors and prevent histamine from having an effect on those receptors, which reduces allergy symptoms.

This medicine gets absorbed rapidly which allows an onset of action within one to three hours approximately.
