Hives From Fexofenadine?

Does Fexofenadine contain gluten? I have been suffering with chronic hives and none of my med seem to help. Can anyone help?

Fexofenadine is exactly that, nothing else, what you need to look at is the other ingredients in the pills, the inactives that are the fillers and binders they use to give the pill significant substance and hold it together in the desire shape and consistency.

These 'inactive' ingredients differ, depending on the manufacturer, there are certain standards for what can be used, however, there are many options and the various generic med manufacturers do not all have to use the same ones.

That said, with the little information your provided, I cannot tell you what is in those inactive ingredients, as listing is usually available under the professional prescribing information, so if you can tell me who the manufacturer is of the pills you are taking, or if you aren't certain, then post the imprint, including all letters, numbers, and/or logos that are on the tablet itself and I can look it up for you to find out.

On other advice, when you have severe hives, I get them myself due to various allergies and you have not lived adventurously until you have had them EVERYWHERE on your body, including parts I will not mention here, and on your lips, but anyway, to get back to the point, I have gotten the best results for relief from Chlorpheneramine Maleate, it is a common ingredient in both prescription and OTC allergy and decongestant meds, have you tried this?

You really should speak to your doctor, since your hives are chronic, you will probably get better relief with a prescription strength form of it.

Please post back with the inrormation I have requested or send me an email at [email protected] and I will glady look up the other ingredients for you.
