Patients and parents/caregivers of pediatric patients taking Allegra Tablets, Allegra ODT or Allegra Oral Suspension should receive the following information:

Allegra Tablets, Allegra ODT or Allegra Oral Suspension are prescribed for the relief of symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis or for the relief of symptoms of chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). Patients should be instructed to take Allegra only as prescribed. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If any untoward effects occur while taking Allegra discontinue use and consult a doctor.

The products should not be used by patients who are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients.

These products should be used in pregnancy or lactation only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or nursing infant.

Patients and parents/caregivers of pediatric patients should also be advised to store the medication in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, away from small children.

For Allegra Tablets: Patients should be advised to take the Allegra Tablets with water.

For Allegra ODT: For Allegra ODT, patients should be advised to take their dose on an empty stomach. Allegra ODT should be allowed to disintegrate on the tongue, followed by swallowing with or without water. Allegra ODT is not intended to be chewed. Allegra ODT should be stored in its original blister package. Allegra ODT should not be removed from the original blister package until the time of administration.

Phenylketonurics: Allegra ODT contains phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. Each 30-mg Allegra ODT contains 5.3 mg phenylalanine. Allegra products other than Allegra ODT do not contain phenylalanine.

For Allegra Oral Suspension: Patients and parents/caregivers of pediatric patients should be advised to shake the Allegra Oral Suspension bottle well, before each use.
