Generic Allegra Information

Introduction

Allegra is an oral antihistamine indicated for the relief of allergy‑related symptoms. Its active ingredient is fexofenadine, a second‑generation histamine H 1‑receptor antagonist. The drug is marketed worldwide by Sanofi and is classified within the allergy‑treatment group. In Hong Kong, Allegra is prescribed for seasonal allergic rhinitis, perennial rhinitis, and chronic idiopathic urticaria. The medication is available in 30 mg and 60 mg tablet strengths and is commonly used when rapid symptom control with minimal sedation is required.

What is Allegra?

Allegra is a brand‑name formulation containing the active compound fexofenadine hydrochloride. It was developed in the late 199s as a non‑sedating alternative to first‑generation antihistamines. The product is manufactured under license by Sanofi‑Pasteur and distributed in many regions, including Hong Kong, through approved pharmaceutical distributors.

Classification: Second‑generation H 1‑antihistamine (allergy medication)
Developer: Sanofi‑Pasteur (original brand)
Formulations: 30 mg and 60 mg film‑coated tablets, each containing fexofenadine hydrochloride

How Allegra Works

Fexofenadine selectively blocks peripheral H 1‑receptors, preventing histamine released from mast cells and basophils from binding to these receptors. Histamine is a key mediator of the early‑phase allergic response, causing vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and sensory nerve stimulation that lead to itching, sneezing, rhinorrhea, and edema. By antagonising H 1‑receptors, Allegra reduces these symptoms without crossing the blood–brain barrier in significant amounts, which explains its low‑sedation profile.

Pharmacokinetic highlights:

• Onset of action: 1 hour after oral ingestion.
• Peak plasma concentration: 2–3 hours.
• Duration of effect: Up to 24 hours, supporting once‑daily dosing.
• Elimination: Primarily hepatic metabolism (CYP3A4) with renal excretion of unchanged drug; terminal half‑life ≈ 14 hours.

Conditions Treated with Allegra

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) – characterized by sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes during pollen seasons.
• Perennial allergic rhinitis – persistent nasal symptoms triggered by indoor allergens such as dust mites or pet dander.
• Chronic idiopathic urticaria – recurrent wheals and pruritus lasting > 6 weeks without identifiable cause.

In Hong Kong, pollen‑related seasonal rhinitis peaks from February to May, while humidity‑driven perennial rhinitis is common year‑round. Studies in Asian cohorts show fexofenadine’s efficacy comparable to other second‑generation antihistamines, with a favourable safety profile for the local population.

Patient Groups Most Likely to Benefit

• Adults and adolescents (≥ 12 years) with mild‑to‑moderate allergic rhinitis seeking rapid, non‑sedating relief.
• Patients requiring daytime antihistamine therapy (e.g., drivers, students, professionals) because Allegra minimally impairs cognitive function.
• Individuals with chronic urticaria unresponsive to first‑generation agents or who experience sedation with older antihistamines.

Contra‑indications or cautionary use:

• Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min) should avoid standard dosing.
• Those taking potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, erythromycin) may require dose adjustment.
• Pregnant or lactating women should only use Allegra after a risk‑benefit assessment by a physician.

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Headache
• Dry mouth
• Nausea or abdominal discomfort
• Mild dizziness (rarely reported)

Rare

• Palpitations or tachycardia
• Elevated liver enzymes (transient)
• Skin rash unrelated to urticaria

Serious

• Anaphylactic reaction (extremely rare) – immediate medical attention required.
• Cardiac arrhythmias in patients with pre‑existing conduction disorders (very uncommon).

Drug–Drug Interactions

• CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin, clarithromycin) can increase fexofenadine plasma concentrations; avoid co‑administration or reduce Allegra dose.
• Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium decrease absorption; separate administration by at least 2 hours.
• Ritonavir may raise fexofenadine levels; monitor for increased side effects.
• Other antihistamines: additive sedation is unlikely but does not provide additional therapeutic benefit; concurrent use is generally discouraged.

Patients should disclose all prescribed, over‑the‑counter, and herbal products before initiating Allegra.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard adult dose: 60 mg once daily (preferred) or 30 mg twice daily, taken with water.
• Adolescent dose (12‑17 years): 30 mg twice daily or 60 mg once daily, based on body weight and symptom severity.
• Missed dose: Take the missed tablet as soon as remembered unless it is within 12 hours of the next scheduled dose; in that case, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Do not double‑dose.
• Overdose: Report to a medical professional or poison control centre immediately. Symptoms may include dizziness, tachycardia, and nausea; supportive care is the mainstay of treatment.
• Food & Alcohol: Allegra may be taken with or without food. High‑fat meals can modestly reduce absorption; spacing from fatty meals can improve efficacy. Alcohol does not potentiate sedation but should be used responsibly.
• Comorbidities: Adjust dose in severe renal impairment; no adjustment needed for mild to moderate hepatic disease.

FAQ

• Is Allegra covered by the Hong Kong Hospital Authority?
  Allegra is listed in the Hospital Authority formulary for allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria, but coverage depends on individual patient eligibility and prescribing physician approval.

• Can I obtain a 90‑day supply of Allegra through the online pharmacy?
  Yes, bulk orders up to a 90‑day supply are allowed, provided the prescription documentation meets the required duration.

• Does Allegra require refrigeration during shipping or storage?
  No refrigeration is needed. Store tablets at room temperature (15‑30 °C) away from moisture and direct sunlight.

• Are there any differences between US‑approved and Asian‑approved Allegra tablets?
  The active ingredient, fexofenadine hydrochloride, and the dosage strengths are identical. Excipients may vary slightly to meet regional regulatory standards, but therapeutic efficacy remains the same.

• Can Allegra be taken alongside COVID‑19 vaccine boosters?
  There is no known interaction. Patients may continue their regular antihistamine regimen before or after vaccination.

• What is the recommended wash‑out period before switching from another antihistamine to Allegra?
  No wash‑out period is required because fexofenadine does not accumulate significantly; however, clinicians may stagger the switch to monitor symptom control.

• Is Allegra safe for patients with hypertension?
  Fexofenadine does not have a direct effect on blood pressure, making it suitable for hypertensive patients unless they are on CYP3A4 inhibitors that could raise plasma levels.

• Can I import Allegra for personal use without a local prescription?
  Our online pharmacy arranges a valid prescription on your behalf, complying with Hong Kong import regulations for personal medication.

• How does Allegra compare to cetirizine regarding sedation?
  Clinical trials show Allegra produces significantly lower sedation scores than cetirizine, especially at the 60 mg once‑daily dose.

• What documentation is required for customs clearance of Allegra shipments?
  A copy of the prescribing physician’s note and the pharmacy’s export certificate accompany each parcel, satisfying Hong Kong customs requirements for personal medication import.

• Is there a pediatric formulation of Allegra for children under 12?
  Currently, Allegra tablets are not approved for children younger than 12 years. Alternative age‑appropriate antihistamines should be considered under medical guidance.
