Has anyone with heart problems taken this drug

  1. Hi ,
    Thanks for reaching out.
    Fexofenadine is an antihistamine used to treat allergy symptoms. After doing a bit of a search, fexofenadine is more commonly known as Allegra. I dug a bit further for drug interactions /heart medications and have not come across any yet.
    I will say, if your doctor prescribed this for you, they should know your current medications and interactions. Your pharmacist should also alert you if there are any concerns.
    I hope some of our community members with experience with fexofenadine will chime in here and share their experiences as well.
    My best, Doreen (Team Member)
