Description

What is Telfast?

Telfast is a medication used to treat allergies. It can provide relief from symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose. Telfast 120mg is a fast-acting, non-drowsy antihistamine that contains fexofenadine hydrochloride. It is commonly used to treat the symptoms of hay fever, including sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and itchy or watery eyes. In addition, it is effective in treating chronic idiopathic urticaria, which causes persistent itchy skin rashes. Telfast is available over the counter in tablet form and can be taken once daily to help control allergy symptoms.

How Does Telfast Work?

Telfast is a fast-acting medication that is used to relieve the symptoms of hay fever and other allergies. It contains fexofenadine, which is a type of antihistamine that helps to block the effects of histamine in the body. Histamine is responsible for causing many of the symptoms associated with allergies, such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. By blocking histamine, Telfast can help to relieve these symptoms. Telfast begins to work within one hour of taking it, and its effects last for up to 12 hours. It is available as tablets and liquid capsules and can be taken either with or without food.
