Description Fexofenadine is an over-the-counter second-generation antihistamine used in the treatment of various allergic symptoms.[L4269] It is selective for the H1 receptor, carries little-to-no activity at off-targets, and does not cross the blood-brain barrier[L10779] - this is in contrast to previous first-generation antihistamines, such as [diphenhydramine], which readily bind to off-targets that contribute to side effects such as sedation.[A1452] Fexofenadine is the major active metabolite of [terfenadine][A1495] and is administered as a racemic mixture in which both enantiomers display approximately equivalent antihistamine activity.[L10779]
