Fexostad 180 Special Precautions

Although clinical experience generally has not revealed differences in responses between geriatric and younger patients to the drug, it should be considered that fexofenadine is substantially excreted by the kidneys and the risk of severe adverse reactions to the drug may be increased in patients with impaired renal function. Because geriatric patients may have decreased renal function, monitoring renal function may be useful and dosage should be selected with caution in these patients.
Safety and efficacy of fexofenadine hydrochloride have not been established in children younger than 6 years of age.
Effects on ability to drive and operate machines: On the basis of the pharmacodynamic profile and reported adverse events it is unlikely that fexofenadine hydrochloride will produce an effect on the ability to drive or use machines. In objective tests, fexofenadine has been shown to have no significant effects on central nervous system function. This means that patients may drive or perform tasks that require concentration. However, in order to identify sensitive people who have an unusual reaction to drugs, it is advisable to check the individual response before driving or performing complicated tasks.
