Zelgra 120 Tablet 10 contains fexofenadine (120 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Histamine H1 Receptor Antagonism: Fexofenadine selectively blocks peripheral histamine H1 receptors. Histamine is a chemical released during an allergic reaction, and its interaction with H1 receptors can cause symptoms such as itching and sneezing. Blocking these receptors helps reduce these symptoms.

• Inhibition of Bronchospasm: It also inhibits bronchospasm (sudden constriction of lung airways) induced by antigens (foreign substances that trigger an immune response). This contributes to its ability to manage allergy symptoms.

• Prevention of Histamine Release: Furthermore, fexofenadine has shown potential in preventing the release of histamine from mast cells (cells involved in allergic reactions), further dampening the body's allergic response.

• Keep Zelgra 120 Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature.

• Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or damp places like bathrooms.

• Ensure that the medicine is out of sight and reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before taking the medicine, and do not use it if it's past this date.

• If you're managing hay fever with Zelgra 120 Tablet 10, try to stay indoors when the pollen count is high. This can help reduce your exposure to allergens and manage your symptoms more effectively.

• Maintaining a food diary can help identify triggers for individuals dealing with food allergies. Make sure you record everything you eat and any reactions you have.
