What is Grankast 180

Grankast 180 Tablets is a prescription antihistamine medication containing Fexofenadine Hydrochloride I.P. (180 mg). It belongs to the second-generation, non-drowsy class of antihistamines and is designed to treat various allergic conditions, such as seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives).

Key Ingredients & Their Role

Grankast 180 contains the following active component:

  • Selective H1-Receptor Antagonist: Blocks the action of histamine, a natural compound produced by the body during an allergic reaction.

  • Non-Drowsy Formula: Provides effective allergy relief with minimal central nervous system penetration, making it much less likely to cause drowsiness compared to older antihistamines.
