Why is Allegra/Telfast prescribed?
Telfast (commonly know as Allegra in the US) is a fast acting non-sedating antihistamine. Telfast (Allegra) is designed to relieve the symptoms of hayfever (seasonal allergic rhinitis), and allergies (either indoor or outdoor). Typically these symptoms will include sneezing, blocked or runny nose, watery eyes and red sore eyes.
