class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT NEFOXEF IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The active substance in your medicine fexofenadine hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines called\u00a0antihistamines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nefoxef 120 mg film-coated tablets are approved for relieving symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and eyes,\u00a0itching\u00a0of the nose and eyes, and\u00a0redness\u00a0which are typical symptoms of hay fever (allergic\u00a0rhinitis\u00a0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fexofenadine hydrochloride contained in Nefoxef may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professionals if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BEFORE YOU TAKE NEFOXEF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not take Nefoxef<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; if you are allergic

and\u00a0magnesium hydroxide, it is recommended that you allow 2 hours to elapse between taking an acidic stomach medicine and Nefoxef.\u00a0The remedy for an acidic stomach can cause a smaller amount to be absorbed and affect the effect of Nefoxef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take Nefoxef together with erythromycin (an&nbsp;antibiotic&nbsp;) or&nbsp;ketoconazole&nbsp;(antifungal), the amount of fexofenadine in your blood may increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergy tests: If you are going to do an\u00a0allergy test, stop taking the medicine 3 days before the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or
