ACTION AND PHARMACOLOGY

Fexofenadine hydrochloride, the major active metabolite of terfenadine, is an antihistamine with selective H1-receptor antagonist activity.

Pharmacology:  Fexofenadine hydrochloride blocks action of histamine and displaces histamine from the H1 receptor. Antihistamines bind to H1 receptors and prevents histamine from eliciting allergic reactions.

 

PHARMACOKINETICS

Fexofenadine hydrochloride is rapidly absorbed into the body following oral administration, with Tmax occurring at approximately 1-3 hours post dose. Fexofenadine is 60-70% plasma protein bound.

Fexofenadine undergoes negligible metabolism (hepatic or non-hepatic), as it was the only major compound indentified in urine and faeces of animals and men. The plasma concentration profiles of fexofenadine follow a bi-exponential decline with a terminal elimination half-life ranging from 11 to 15 hours after multiple dosing.

The major route of elimination is believed to be via biliary excretion while up to 10% of ingested dose is excreted unchanged through the urine.

 

INDICATIONS

Relief of symptoms associated with chronic idiopathic urticaria.

 

DOSAGE

Adults

The recommended dose of fexofenadine hydrochloride for adults is 120 mg/180mg once daily taken before a meal.

The recommended dose of fexofenadine hydrochloride for children aged 12 years and over is 120mg/180mg one daily taken before a meal.

PRECAUTIONS

As with most new medicinal products there is only limited data in the elderly and renally or hepatically impaired patients. Fexofenadine hydrochloride should be administered with care in these special groups.

Patients with a history of or ongoing cardiovascular disease should be warned that, antihistamines as a medicine class have been associated with the adverse reactions, tachycardia and palpitations.

 

INTERACTIONS

Coad ministration of fexofenadine hydrochloride with erythromycin or ketoconazole has been found to result in a 2-3 times increase in the level of fexofenadine in plasma.

The administration of antacid containing aluminium and magnesium hydroxide gels 15 minutes prior to fexofenadine hydrochloride caused a reduction in bioavailability, most likely due to binding in the gastrointestinal tract.
