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.

I have noticed after years of using allegra, I developed an itching around my head, arms, face, etc., 12-15 hours after my taking my daily dosage, causing me to have to take another to stop the itchin.

Results in migrain headaches and had to stop using them. When I used the brand name version Allegra, there was no headache but HMOs refuse to prescribe them because of their price.

I have taken it for a few months and when I forget to take it my allergies are horrible, but when I do take it I don't sneeze, or sniffle, or even have watery eyes. It's awesome!!

This drug significantly reduced hives almost immediately after I took my first dose. When I feel an onsite of hives about to appear, taking fexofenadine helps eliminate the breakout.
