Histafree-120 – Strip of 10 Tablets

Histafree-120 is a medication used to treat allergy symptoms and is commonly prescribed for conditions like allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and urticaria (hives). It contains Desloratadine 120 mg as the active ingredient.

Key Information about Histafree-120:

1. Active Ingredient:
   • Desloratadine: This is a second-generation antihistamine that works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms like itching, sneezing, and swelling. Desloratadine is known for causing fewer sedative effects compared to first-generation antihistamines, making it less likely to cause drowsiness.
2. Indications:
   • Allergic Rhinitis (seasonal or perennial): It helps relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes.
   • Urticaria (Hives): It helps reduce symptoms of itching, swelling, and rash.
3. Dosage:
   • 1 tablet (120 mg) once daily. This dosage may vary depending on the specific needs of the patient and should be adjusted by the prescribing doctor.
   • For adults and children over 12 years of age, this is the typical dose.
   • It should be taken as directed, either with or without food.
4. Side Effects:
   • Common side effects are generally mild and may include headaches, dizziness, dry mouth, and fatigue.
   • More serious side effects, such as allergic reactions (e.g., rash, swelling, trouble breathing), are rare but require immediate medical attention.
5. Precautions:
   • Liver/Kidney Conditions: If you have any liver or kidney problems, consult your doctor before using Histafree-120, as dosage adjustments may be needed.
   • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: It’s important to discuss with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the safety of desloratadine during these times needs careful consideration.
   • Other Medications: Inform your doctor of any other medications you’re taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
