What is Telfast
Decongestant (Allegra D) used for?
Telfast Decongestant (ALLEGRA-D) should be
administered when both the antihistaminic properties of
fexofenadine hydrochloride and the nasal decongestant properties
of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride are desired
Allegra works on your
seasonal allergy symptoms: your itchy, watery eyes, plus
sneezing and runny nose. But if you find your nose is stuffed up
too, you should consider Allegra-D. Allegra-D has the same
antihistamine as Allegra with the added relief of a
decongestant.
Because Allegra-D contains
pseudoephedrine (the decongestant in most over-the-counter
allergy medicines), Allegra-D must not be taken if you are also
taking MAO inhibitors (medicines that treat depression) or if
you retain urine or have glaucoma, severe high blood pressure,
or severe heart disease.
Also, let your doctor know
before you take Allegra-D if you have high blood pressure,
diabetes, heart disease, glaucoma, thyroid disease, impaired
kidney function, or symptoms of an enlarged prostate such as
difficulty urinating. The most commonly reported adverse
experiences with Allegra-D compared to pseudoephedrine alone
were headache (13.0% vs 17.4%), insomnia (12.6% vs 13.3%), and
nausea (7.4% vs 5.0%).
