Telfast is a second generation antihistamine, which means it is less likely to cause drowsiness than some of the earlier antihistamines. Antihistamines are used to help with managing the symptoms of a number of allergic health conditions. Common allergic conditions are hayfever and allergic skin conditions. Antihistamines don’t cure these conditions but can often provide much needed relief from the unpleasant symptoms. Allergies can have a huge impact on the quality of life for sufferers, particularly if they are long term or re-occur often, such as in the case of hayfever.

Allergies are caused by an overactive immune system where the body mistakenly a harmless substance such as pollen as dangerous and then tries to ‘attack’ it. After the exposure to the allergen, or ‘threat’, the body produces too much histamine which is responsible for the symptoms of allergiessuch as runny nose, sneezing and itching. Antihistamines block histamine receptor sites, which prevent histamines from attaching to cells and causing allergy symptoms.

Telfast surveyed nearly 800 people suffering from allergies in Australia to find out how their quality of life could be improved. Due to the huge impact allergies can have day to day life, it’s not surprising that allergy sufferers said that they just wanted to use the most efficient product. What that meant to participants in the survey was a potent and strong antihistamine, that is fast acting and also long lasting.

Telfast contains 180mg of the active ingredient fexofenadine hydrochloride (HCl.) This is a fast-acting antihistamine shown by considerable research to relieve the symptoms of allergies, without causing drowsiness. This active ingredient works similarly to many antihistamine by blocking histamine receptors in the cells of the body. Fexofenadine appears to be more effective if taken daily, rather than sporadically on an as-needed basis. As allergy symptoms often peak in the morning, evening administration may be more suitable for better control of symptoms.

Telfast provides five important benefits in one tablet:

  1. Fast Acting – Telfast works within the hour of taking it. The customer who is suffering from unpleasant symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat and eyes wants relief as quick as possible.
  2. Non-Drowsy – the active ingredient fexofenadine HCl is a second generation antihistamine which does not cause drowsiness.
  3. 24 Hour Symptom Relief – Telfast contains 180mg of active ingredient which provides relief of symptoms for 24 hours. This means it can be taken in a convenient one per day dosage, making it much easier than having to take multiple doses throughout the day.
  4. Multi-Symptom Relief – Telfast 180mg provides fast relief from the multiple symptoms of allergic conditions including sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, itching, skin rashes and hives. Depending on the severity of the allergic condition, sufferers may experience many symptoms or only one.
  5. Effective every day – Telfast 180mg works within 1 hour and is effective every day.
