Allevia is a fast-acting non-drowsy antihistamine. One Allevia tablet provides 24-hour relief from hay fever symptoms including:
This prescription-strength hay fever tablet is available over the counter from pharmacies, and online from us.
Allevia tablets are free from gluten and lactose.
Prior to Sanofi bringing Allevia to market in 2022, fexofenadine was only available on prescription as a generic, or under brand names such as Telfast.
Allevia contains 120mg of fexofenadine hydrochloride. This 2nd-generation antihistamine is less likely to cause drowsiness.
Some people’s bodies treat pollen as a harmful substance. In response, their bodies fire chemicals called histamines to remove the pollen.
This histamine causes symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, itching and watery eyes due to inflammation.
Fexofenadine blocks histamine, preventing the symptoms from developing.
Allevia starts working within 1 hour of taking it.
The effects of Allevia last for up to 24 hours, providing all-day relief from hay fever symptoms.
Instructions on how to take Allevia can be found in the patient information leaflet. Below is the recommended dosage provided.
Take 1 Allevia tablet daily before a meal.
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush or chew Allevia tablets.
Allevia should be taken 1 hour before you plan on going out.
If you are unsure how to take Allevia, consult the patient information leaflet or ask a pharmacist.
If you forget to take Allevia when you should, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time.
Do not take more Allevia to make up for a missed dose.
If you accidentally take more Allevia tablets than you should, inform your doctor or go straight to your nearest hospital emergency department.
Remember to take the packaging and any remaining medicine with you, so that the doctors treating you know exactly what and how much you took.
You must always read the patient information leaflet enclosed with your medicine before you begin to take it.
The patient information leaflet contains important information about how to take, store, and discard the medicine safely.
You can read the patient information leaflet for Allevia online via the eMC website.
