Xadine Plus

Overview

Xadine Plus is an anti-allergy and nasal decongestant tablet used for relief of symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis when both antihistamine and decongestant action are needed. Each tablet contains fexofenadine hydrochloride 60 mg and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 60 mg. Fexofenadine helps reduce allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose or throat, and itchy or watery eyes, while pseudoephedrine helps relieve blocked nose and sinus congestion by reducing swelling in the nasal passages.

This product is intended for adults and children 12 years of age and older. Because it contains pseudoephedrine, it may not be suitable for people with certain heart, blood pressure, eye, prostate, thyroid, kidney, or medication-interaction risks. Use only as directed by a doctor, pharmacist, or the product label.
