Two reasons that can help you live life outdoors
Only the Allegra-D® family of products contain
Allegra® (fexofenadine HCl)—the brand you trust
for the treatment of seasonal allergies—
plus pseudoephedrine
Allegra (fexofenadine HCl) is the ingredient proven to relieve allergy symptoms—such
as sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes—without making you sleepy. While other
products may relieve the symptoms, they can also leave you feeling tired and drowsy.
This can be as frustrating as the allergy symptoms themselves.
Pseudoephedrine treats your nasal congestion. According to a survey, nearly
4 out of 5 people with nasal allergies reported nasal congestion as the most bothersome
allergy symptom during an allergy attack. The pseudoephedrine in Allegra-D treats
that nasal congestion, relieving stuffiness.
When it comes to relieving your symptoms, experts agree that a medicine combining
fexofenadine HCl and pseudoephedrine works better than taking each ingredient alone.
Allegra-D provides 2 powerful ingredients that can help you live life, outdoors.

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;

increased heart rate, palpitations, increased blood pressure, and abnormal heart

pressure, diabetes, heart disease, glaucoma, thyroid disease, impaired kidney function,
