Xadine 180mg Tablets contain Fexofenadine Hydrochloride, a powerful second-generation non-drowsy antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms. It effectively reduces sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching or hives on the skin caused by allergic conditions such as hay fever and chronic idiopathic urticaria. The 180mg strength provides once-daily, long-lasting relief from moderate to severe allergy symptoms without causing sedation or affecting alertness.
