I was taking Allegra, but now take this. I have been taking fexofenadine for years and it is the only thing that works for me. I take it faithfully all year round and feel great.

I have been having tongue sores and mouth sores for about 1 year. Very painful. I am going to stop allegra and see if the sores get better. I am doing this with all of my medications to see which one is causing such ulceration on my tonge and in my mouth.

This is the only med that's been able to tackle my severe seasonal allergies that I get every spring. Tried all of the OTC meds, and still had itchy, swollen shut eyes, stuffy nose, and itchy throat. The only downside is that since it's now over the counter, my insurance won't cover the prescription, hence it is now much more expensive than before.

I started taking Fexofenadine due to allergic itching from using Just For Men beard and mustache color. Seems to work better than plan allergy sudafed products.

Used to take allegra d, can't sleep, very dizzy, headaches/migraines, heart palpatations and my nose is sore inside. May go to an over counter drug, cant function. Loved claritin until they took it over the counter, then got allegra d which didnt work as well,now this. Prices go up, quality goes down

When fexofenadine was Rx only I got 30 tablets for $5.oo. Now that it is over the counter it costs around $40 for the same amount. I am going to try some less expensive over-the-counter allergy medicine, even if it doesn't work as well. $40 is ridiculous.

I have tried them all. Memphis is the allergy capital of the U.S. It needs to be started before allergy season, because once it starts it seems like it's too late for anything to work affectively. I find no side affects or drowsiness. I take one a day and it works for great for me...

I have been taking this faithfully for a year now. No more allergy symptoms to speak of. The weather, my kitten and pellet stove anything you could think of triggered my syptoms until i started taking this medicine along with nasonex. Was always at the dr.s with cold symptoms. ear ache, sore throat, running nose. on antibiotic after antibiotic until we tried these. thank you for fexofenadine.

The med not only cleared my runny nose and head congestion, but it also seemed to help me concentrate better verses feeling like I was in a fog.

I'm a nursing mom, and this drug has significantly slowed down my milk production. DO NOT take this medication if you are breastfeeding! The small amount of relief I got from the meds was not worth the stress I am going through to increase my milk supply again.

I usually take another allergy medicine but i was given this to save money according to my insurance company. It was somewhat effective but it gave me a horrible headache.

I had major back pain to the point it hurt to walk. I had menstrual cramps all month long, my bottom lip felt like it was burning all the time and my ear hurt constantly, and slowly my hair started thinning.

I take this for my seasonal allergies... when nothing else works this does. You do have to take it at the same time, if I miss a dose it takes a while for it to build back up. Don't take it with fruit juice! Does cause some insomnia.

2 months ago I started breaking out with hives like clockwork around 8 AM. Food allergies were excluded. My Dermatologist prescribed 180 MG of Fexofenadine in the evening. It works. I can now go without for 2-3 days before I have a breakout again,
