fexofenadine hydrochloride usage and synthesis
descriptionfexofenadine hydrochloride (trade name: allegra) belongs to a second-generation antihistamine pharmaceutical drug. it is mainly used for the treatment of allergy symptoms including watery eyes, hay fever, nasal congestion, urticaria, runny nose, itching eyes/nose, sneezing, hives, and itching. it is a kind of selectively peripheral h1 blocker. its mechanism of action in vivo is through preventing the histamine-mediated activation of the h1 receptors, thus alleviating the symptoms related to allergy. compared to the first-generation antihistamine drug, it is less prone to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, reducing the possibility to cause side effects such as drowsiness.referenceshttp://www.rxlist.com/allegra-drug/consumer-uses.htm
