How Telfast compares
Telfast contains fexofenadine, one of several non-drowsy antihistamines used for hayfever and allergies. Compared with older antihistamines it's much less likely to cause drowsiness, and many people find it effective when other options haven't controlled their symptoms. Fexofenadine is also available as a generic (for example our Azure Fexofenadine), which is the same active ingredient at a lower price.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Telfast compare to cetirizine or loratadine?
All are non-drowsy antihistamines. Fexofenadine (Telfast) is often chosen by people who find other antihistamines don't fully control their symptoms, though individual response varies.
Is branded Telfast different from generic fexofenadine?
Both contain the same active ingredient, fexofenadine 120mg. Generic versions offer the same medicine at a lower price.
Is Telfast suitable for me?
It suits adults and children from 12 years needing daytime, non-drowsy allergy relief. Ask our pharmacist if you take other medicines.
