How does Telefast (Allegra) work?
Telefast relieves allergy symptoms by blocking
the effect of histamines. Histamines are chemicals in your body
that cause allergy symptoms.

12 and older the normal recommended dose is 60 mg or 120 mg twice
daily.
Telefast precautions
You should not take Telefast if you have retained
urine, narrow angle glaucoma, severe high blood pressure, heart
disease, or if you have taken MAO inhibitors (depression medication)
within the last 14 days. If you experience an allergic reaction
to Allegra such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the lips,
tongue, or face, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.
Do not take Allegra with antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium
such as Rolaids, Magnesia, and/or Pepcid Complete. These antacids
may decrease the effectiveness of Allegra.

Before you begin taking Telefast, tell your doctor
if you have a serious illness such as heart disease, kidney disease,
or liver disease. Also, if you are pregnant or nursing talk to
your doctor about potential risks to the fetus or baby.
