Living in control...with added convenience
Once-daily dosing for relief that lasts
Allergies already take enough out of your life. When you get relief, it should be
easy and fast. With the Allegra-D® family of products, you get just
that.
Once daily
Allegra-D® 24 Hour provides the relief you need with just 1 pill
a day.
One pill, 2 powerful ingredients
Only the Allegra-D family of products contain Allegra® (fexofenadine
HCl) plus pseudoephedrine, the combination that relieves your seasonal allergy symptoms,
including nasal congestion.
Fast
Allegra-D® 12 Hour works fast, relieving your allergy symptoms in
as little as 1 hour.
Long-lasting choices
With Allegra-D, you have a choice between a once-daily or a twice-daily formulation,
depending on your needs. If you’re frustrated by nasal congestion, ask about the
lasting relief of Allega-D 24 Hour. It works all day and night with just 1 dose.
Nonsedating
Spending your day feeling sluggish and tired, even after you’ve taken your medicine,
isn’t very convenient. Allegra-D won’t make you drowsy unlike some over-the-counter
(OTC) allergy products.
Prescription vs OTC decongestants
Because of new complicated federal government restrictions on purchasing OTC decongestants
containing pseudoephedrine, picking up your prescription for Allegra-D from the
pharmacy may actually be a convenient alternative to selecting an OTC decongestant.
Remember to take your medication as prescribed by your health care professional.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Side effects with Allegra 180 mg for seasonal allergies are low and may include
headache, cold, or backache.
Side effects with Allegra 60 mg for seasonal allergies are low; less than 3% of
people experience cold or flu, nausea, menstrual pain, or drowsiness.
Side effects with Allegra 60 mg for hives are low and may include backache, sinusitis,
dizziness, or drowsiness.
Side effects with Allegra-D 12 Hour and Allegra-D 24 Hour were similar to Allegra
60 mg alone (headache, insomnia, or nausea) and Allegra 180 mg alone (headache,
cold, or backache) respectively. Due to the decongestant (pseudoephedrine) component
in both Allegra-D 12 Hour and Allegra-D 24 Hour, these products must not be used
if you: are taking an MAO inhibitor (a medication for depression) or have stopped
taking an MAO inhibitor within 14 days; retain urine; have narrow-angle glaucoma;
have severe high blood pressure or severe heart disease. Side effects with pseudoephedrine
may include nervousness, restlessness, dizziness, or insomnia. Headache, drowsiness,
increased heart rate, palpitations, increased blood pressure, and abnormal heart
rhythms have been reported. You should also tell your doctor 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.
