| Other conditions: | | None |
| Other drugs taken: | | OTC vitamins | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | The treatment benefits were a noticable reduction in nasal symptoms of runny nose and itching. Additionally, I had no nasal pressure or headaches due to same. The drug needs to be taken daily. I would take it for a month at a time. It started working within two days after noticing my allergy symptoms flaring up (When Christmas tree came into house and in spring when trees pollinate.) |
| Side effects: | | I did not have any side affects. |
| Comments: | | This drug is to be taken daily for an extended period of time. The dosage is one tablet per day. The tablets are on the large side, but the benefits are worth it. |

| | Fexofenadine review by 48 year old female patient | | | Rating |
| Overall rating: | | |
| Effectiveness: | | Considerably Effective |
| Side effects: | | No Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | Seasonal Allergy |
| Dosage & duration: | | 180 mg taken daily for the period of 7 months |
| Other conditions: | | None |
| Other drugs taken: | | None | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Controlled itching in eyes, nasal and chest congestion, and "tickle cough" very well |
| Side effects: | | No direct side effects but I used to take OTC allergy med (loratidine) except during extreme periods, then I would switch to the prescription for two months or so. Now the allergy seems unresponsive to the over the counter medication, no matter what time of year it is. I do not know if my allergy has changed or if I have become dependent on the fexofenadine. |
| Comments: | | One 180 mg tablet each morning as needed for sinus. |

| Overall rating: | | |
| Effectiveness: | | Highly Effective |
| Side effects: | | No Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | Chronic Idiopathic Urthicaria with Pruritis |
| Dosage & duration: | | 180Mg taken twice daily for the period of 3 years |
| Other conditions: | | Brachioradial Pruritis, Cervical Radiopathy, ADD, Hypogonadism |
| Other drugs taken: | | Methalphenadate, Diazipam, Androgel | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Incidents reduced from daily to maybe every 6 to 8 weeks. If I missed my dose however by hour 14 I would start to break out. This would indicate to me that the histamine levels are ever present and the histamine blocker is what is keeping their ill effects at bay. I have however discovered that recently my pharmacy changed their generic manufacturer and the new version is very ineffective. I've had 5+ severe breakouts in 3 months |
| Side effects: | | Virtually none. Not drowsiness, not upset stomach, no nothing. Just don't miss your dose. |
| Comments: | | take one at 7 am when I wake up, the other at 7pm after supper. |
