question

does anyone know which enantiomer of the molecule works the best? Or is it exactly equal? Sikkema (talk) 14:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know if the body develops a tolerance for this? I seem to respond less well to doses (to combat serious hay fever) of 300 mg/day than I used to.... any response welcome... 77.251.51.253 (talk) 19:52, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

when I typed in "fexofenadine" to the search it gave no results

works for me. Maybe you mistyped it and didn't notice? Graham 11:42, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the opening section, the article mentions "potentially fatal contraindications". But there is no citation for this statement, and there is no other mention of it in the article. Even in the "overdose" section, it does not seem to support this statement. How often is this an issue? How many people have died in this way? I think the statement that I quoted above should be removed, unless it can be supported with some facts. Deepfryer99 21:26, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The statement clearly concerns terfenadine, an older drug which was replaced by fexofenadine. Further details and links can be found in the terfenadine article. — Jan (158.195.162.8 (talk) 20:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]

The History section mentions AMRI with no explanation or link. — Jan (158.195.162.8 (talk) 20:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC))[reply]

OK to remove specific dosing instructions?

Per this email thread? Thanks, GChriss <always listening><c> 05:22, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dosing Instructions?

According to the offical allegra website, their dosing instructions state:

It is recommended that the administration of ALLEGRA-D 12 HOUR with food should be avoided.

I would appreciate it if anyone could weigh in on this. Thanks! monkeynoze (talk) 22:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The intake of food could possibly diminish the effects of the drug, simply because eating adds a lot of material to the intestines, so that the adsorption into the body is not that quick. No harmful interactions are expected. Sikkema (talk) 14:30, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
