Description
Histafree Suspension contains fexofenadine, a non-drowsy antihistamine. It is less likely to make your child feel sleepy than other antihistamines. However, some people still find it makes them feel quite sleepy, which is used to treat allergies as it blocks the effects of a chemical messenger known as histamine, which is naturally involved in allergic reactions. Histafree Suspension is widely used to treat hay fever (an allergy caused by pollen or dust), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), eczema (dermatitis), hives (red, raised patches or dots), reactions to insect bites and stings and some food allergies.
In some cases, Histafree Suspension may cause headaches, nausea, or dizziness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if you notice any of these side effects persist or bother your child, inform your doctor immediately.
Inform your doctor about your child’s entire medical history. Other drugs or supplements should not be combined with Histafree Suspension unless a doctor advises. Do not use this medicine unless prescribed by the doctor.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Allergy: An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your or your child’s body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens.’ Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander. Histafree Suspension is a non-drowsy antihistamine which makes it less likely to make your child feel sleepy compared to other antihistamines or antiallergics.
Hay fever:Â Hay fever/allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction to pollen, typically when it comes into contact with the mouth, nose, eyes and throat. Hay fever symptoms include sneezing and coughing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy, red or watery eyes, itchy throat, mouth, nose and ears, loss of smell, pain around the forehead, headache, ear pain and feeling tired.
Eczema:Â Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough. Some eczema types can also lead to blisters (a small bubble on the skin filled with serum) and are caused by friction, burning, or other damage.
Conjunctivitis: Conjunctivitis is an eye condition caused by infection or allergies. It is also known as red or pink eye. Redness, itching, and tears in the eyes are symptoms. It can also cause discharge or crusting around the eyes.
