Indications

Fexofenadine Hydrochloride is indicated for the relief of symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis in adults and children. It is also indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated skin manifestations of chronic idiopathic urticaria.

Pharmacology

Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that is taken orally (SSRI). The pure S-enantiomer of the racemic bicyclic phthalate derivative citalopram is escitalopram. When it comes to inhibiting 5-HT reuptake, escitalopram is at least 100 times more potent than the R-enantiomer. Escitalopram binds to serotonergic and other receptors, including alpha, with no or very low affinity.
