Allegra-D Allergies + Nasal Congestion 30 sustained release caplets

Allegra-D Allergies + Nasal Congestion 30 sustained release caplets is a medication designed to relieve symptoms of allergies and nasal congestion. 

Active Ingredients:

• Fexofenadine Hydrochloride (60mg): This is an antihistamine that helps block histamine, a chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction. It relieves symptoms like itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing.
• Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (120mg): This is a nasal decongestant that helps shrink swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages, easing congestion and stuffiness.

Benefits:

• Provides relief from various allergy symptoms, including:
  • Runny nose
  • Sneezing
  • Itchy, watery eyes
  • Itchy nose or throat
• Clears nasal congestion and stuffiness.
• Sustained-release formula offers relief for up to 12 hours with one dose.
