Do not start ALLEGRA allergy medication without first talking to your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:

The existence of these conditions may require your doctor to prohibit, make a dosage adjustment or call for special monitoring while taking ALLEGRA.

Fexofenadine is in the FDA pregnancy category C, which means that it is not known whether it will be harmful to an unborn baby, or whether it can be passed on through breastfeeding.

Interactions:

Do not take ALLEGRA without first talking to your doctor if you are taking other prescription or over-the-counter medicines; including vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements.

Do not take ALLEGRA close in time to taking antacids with aluminum or magnesium. These antacids may decrease the effects of ALLEGRA.

Side effects:

ALLEGRA is generally well tolerated by most patients. On rare occasions, patients have reported minor ALLEGRA side effects like insomnia, nervousness, and sleep disorders or paroniria (nightmares).

If you develop allergic-type reactions, stop taking ALLEGRA and seek immediate medical attention.

Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is bothersome.
