What Is Telfast And What Is It Used For?
Telfast capsules and tablets contain an active ingredient called “fexofenadine”. It is one of a group of medicines called antihistamines. Telfast is used to relieve the symptoms of hayfever (seasonal allergic rhinitis) such as sneezing, itchy, watery or red eyes, and itchy, blocked or runny nose. Telfast does this by blocking the action of histamine, which causes these unwanted affects. Telfast is a non-sedating antihistamine which means it has been shown not to make you drowsy or slow down your reactions. Is Telfast Suitable For Me?
