Generic Allegra-D
|

|
Allegra-D® (fexofenadine and pseudoephedrine) is a nonprescription medication that has been licensed for the relief of seasonal allergy symptoms (hay fever). Although Allegra-D was once a prescription-only medication, it is now available without a prescription.
Like all nonprescription medications that contain pseudoephedrine, Allegra-D can be purchased only "behind the counter." This means that it can be purchased only from pharmacies, and it is stored in the actual pharmacy, not out with other nonprescription products. You must present valid identification, and your purchase will be logged in a special logbook. There is a limit to how much pseudoephedrine (in any product) you can purchase per day and per month.
Brand-name Allegra-D is manufactured by sanofi-aventis Pharmaceuticals. However, a generic version is also available (at least in the 24-hour strength).
Generic Allegra-D is available in the 24-hour strength -- fexofenadine 180 mg and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 240 mg. The 12-hour strength is not available in generic form at this time.
Interestingly, when Allegra-D was a prescription-only medication, only the 12-hour strength was available in generic form.
Currently, there is one maker for all the different "store brand" generic versions of Allegra-D -- Dr.
