Fexofenadine is a second-generation antihistamine used to treat allergy symptoms such as hay fever, hives, and allergic rhinitis. It is a prodrug metabolized to terfenadine in some contexts, but is typically used in its active form to provide non-sedating relief. The term refers to the chemical compound, not a brand, and is commonly encountered in medical, pharmacological, and patient-education settings.
