🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionFexofenadine is rapidly absorbed after oral administration. The bioavailability is reduced by fruit juices. Peak plasma concentration is reached in about 2.5 hours.
DistributionFexofenadine is approximately 60-70% bound to plasma proteins. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier to a significant extent.
Protein Binding60-70%
MetabolismFexofenadine undergoes minimal metabolism. It is primarily excreted unchanged.
Half-Life14.4 hours
ExcretionFexofenadine is excreted mainly in feces (80%) and urine (11%) as unchanged drug.
Bioavailability33%
Onset of ActionWithin 1 hour
Peak Plasma Time2.5 hours
Duration of Action24 hours

How It Works

Fexofenadine is a selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonist. It competes with histamine for binding to H1 receptors on effector cells in the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, and respiratory tract. By blocking histamine, it prevents the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier significantly, so it causes less sedation compared to first-generation antihistamines.

Mechanism Steps

1
Histamine release: During an allergic reaction, mast cells release histamine.
2
H1 receptor binding: Histamine binds to H1 receptors on target cells, causing allergic symptoms.
3
Fexofenadine competition: Fexofenadine competes with histamine for H1 receptor binding.
4
Symptom relief: By blocking histamine, fexofenadine prevents or reduces allergic symptoms.
