As with any medicine, there are possible side effects with Allegra-D® (fexofenadine and pseudoephedrine). However, not everyone who takes Allegra-D will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate it well. When side effects do occur, they are generally minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
