Allegra oral suspension is available as 30 mg/ 5 mL (6 mg/mL). Fruit Juices Fruit juices such as grapefruit, orange and apple may reduce the bioavailability and exposure of fexofenadine. This is based on the results from 3 clinical studies using histamine induced skin wheals and flares coupled with population pharmacokinetic analysis. The size of wheal and flare were significantly larger when fexofenadine hydrochloride was administered with either grapefruit or orange juices compared to water. Based on the literature reports, the same effects may be extrapolated to other fruit juices such as apple juice. The clinical significance of these observations is unknown. In addition, based on the population pharmacokinetics analysis of the combined data from grapefruit and orange juices studies with the data from a bioequivalence study, the bioavailability of fexofenadine was reduced by 36%. Therefore, to maximize the effects of fexofenadine, it is recommended that Allegra tablets should be taken with water [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Dosage and Administration (2.2)]. Allegra ODT can be taken with or without water.(see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) and Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
