Download Fact SheetHow it works
Allegra-D (fexofenadine / pseudoephedrine) combines the effects of an antihistamine and a decongestant. Fexofenadine (an antihistamine) blocks a chemical that causes symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, and itching while pseudoephedrine (a decongestant) narrows blood vessels to decrease mucus and help you breathe better.
