Always follow the dosing instructions on the package or from a clinician.
What side effects are associated with fexofenadine 60 mg?
Common side effects can include headache, dizziness, nausea, or dry mouth. If you develop severe allergic reactions (such as swelling of the face/lips or trouble breathing), seek emergency care.
Are there important drug or food interactions?
Fexofenadine can have reduced absorption when taken with certain substances. For example, products containing aluminum or magnesium (some antacids) can lower absorption if taken close together.

How does 60 mg compare with other fexofenadine strengths?
Fexofenadine is sold in different strengths and formulations (for example, 60 mg and longer-acting versions with different dosing schedules). The key difference is how often you take it and how long it lasts, not the underlying allergy-treatment goal.
