Product description: Telfast is a prescription medication that helps relieve seasonal allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy watery eyes. Telfast is non-drowsy, so you can get the allergy relief you need without feeling tired. Best of all, Telfast provides relief all day long with one dose.
How to use this product: Telfast is available in two doses: 180 mg and 60 mg. The normal recommended dose for allergy sufferers is one 180 mg tablet or two 60 mg tablets a day.
Side effects: Telfast has a very favorable side effect profile. In clinical testing, less than 3% of patients experienced side effects with Telfast. The most commonly reported side effects were cold or flu-like symptoms, nausea, and drowsiness. Studies have shown that drowsiness in people who took Telfast was similar to those who took a sugar pill.
Precautions: Before you start taking Telfast to relieve your allergy symptoms, tell your doctor if you have any serious illnesses such as heart, kidney, or liver disease. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or nursing. Telfast has not been studied extensively in pregnant and nursing women. Therefore, it's unclear whether or not it will harm an unborn baby or if it passes into breast milk.
Drug interactions: DO NOT take Telfast with an antacid that contains aluminum or magnesium such as Rolaids, Maalox, Mylanta, Milk of Magnesia, Pepcid Complete, and others. These products have a tendency to decrease the effectiveness of Telfast. Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with Telfast. Therefore, you should talk to your doctor before taking any other medications.
