    Pharmacotherapeutic group:Antiallergic agent - H1-histamine receptor blocker
    ATX: & nbsp

    R.06.A.X.26   Fexofenadine

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Fexofenadine is a specific antagonist of histamine H1receptors. Fexofenadine in therapeutic doses does not possess anticholinergic, antiadrenergic or antidopaminergic activity. Even in high doses fexofenadine does not block potassium channels in myocardiocytes, thus, does not have a cardiotoxic effect (prolongation QT-Interval, arrhythmias). Fexofenadine does not pass through the blood-brain barrier and, therefore, does not interact with H1receptors of the central nervous system (CNS).

    Clinical trials conducted in adult patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis showed that taking the drug at a dose of 60, 120, 180 mg caused a rapid symptomatic improvement within 1 hour, the effect persisted for 24 hours.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    Suction. After oral administration fexofenadine quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), time to reach the maximum concentration (TmOh) in plasma is approximately 1-3 hours. After ingestion of a dose of 60 mg once a day, the mean maximum concentration (CmOh) is approximately 142 ng / ml, 120 mg once a day is approximately 289 ng / ml, and after oral administration, 180 mg once a day is approximately 494 ng / ml.

    Metabolism, distribution and excretion. Binding to plasma proteins is 60-70%. Metabolized approximately 5% of the dose.80% and 11% of the accepted dose is excreted with bile and urine, respectively. The half-life (T1/2) after repeated administration is 11-16 hours. 10% of the dose is excreted by the kidneys unchanged.

    The pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine when administered to a single or multiple dose of 20 mg to 120 mg is linear. After taking the drug inside at a dose of 240 mg 2 times / day, there is a proportional increase in the area under the pharmacokinetic curve (AUC) (8,8%).

    Indications:

    120 mg: elimination of symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis.

    180 mg: chronic urticaria: redness, itching, and other symptoms of hives.

    Contraindications:

    Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.

    Children under 12 years.

    Pregnancy and lactation.

    Deficiency of lactase, lactose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption.
    Carefully:

    Chronic renal failure, hepatic insufficiency, elderly age, cardiovascular diseases (including in the anamnesis).

    Dosing and Administration:

    Inside, adults and children over 12 years of age - 1 table. (120 or 180 mg, see section "Indications for use") once a day.

    Side effects:

    Headache, drowsiness, nausea, dyspepsia, dizziness, fatigue, fatigue, weakness, insomnia, nervousness, nightmarish dreams, tachycardia, diarrhea, exanthema, dyspnea, systemic anaphylactic reactions (skin rash, urticaria, itching, angioedema).

    Overdose:

    Symptoms: dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth.

    Treatment: carrying out of standard measures for removal from the gastrointestinal tract of a nonabsorbed preparation. Symptomatic and supportive therapy. Hemodialysis is ineffective.

    Interaction:

    Antacids can affect the effectiveness of fexofenadine. The recommended interval between fexofenadine and antacids containing aluminum or magnesium hydroxide is 2 hours.

    With the simultaneous administration of fexofenadine with erythromycin or ketoconazole, fexofenadine in the plasma can be increased 2-3 times (not associated with a significant lengthening of the interval QT).

    Does not interact with omeprazole, with drugs metabolized in the liver.

    Special instructions:

    Studies conducted in elderly patients in patients with impaired renal and hepatic function showed no need for dose adjustment.

    Effect on the ability to drive transp. cf. and fur:

    In carrying out objective tests it was shown that fexofenadine does not have a significant effect on the functions of the central nervous system. Nevertheless, in order to identify sensitive patients who have a non-standard response to a drug, it is recommended to check the individual response before proceeding with work that requires concentration.
