Telfast works by preventing the actions of histamine, a substance naturally produced by the body in response to foreign substances such as pollen. Histamine acts on the histamine receptors in the cells, causing a chain reaction that results in allergy symptoms.
In allergic reactions such as hay fever, histamine usually leads to the inflammation of the nose, eyes, or airways, which results in watery, itchy eyes, a runny or blocked nose, and sneezing. In allergic skin reactions, histamine causes the skin to be inflamed, to form rashes, and become itchy.
Telfast blocks the histamine receptors and effectively stops the chain reaction that causes the allergy symptoms. Telfast usually starts becoming effective within half an hour to an hour after taking a dose.
Telfast also relieves itchy skin rash called idiopathic urticaria, which is similar to the nettle-type of hives or rash that is a common symptom when you get a skin reaction for no apparent cause. Telfast blocks the actions of histamine to relieve the itching and reduces the rash that is common with this condition.
The main benefit of using Telfast is the relief it provides against the symptoms of hay fever and other allergic reactions. Telfast effectively blocks the action of histamine to effectively prevent the inflammation, itching, and other symptoms of hay fever.
Telfast Tablet
For allergic rhinitis, your doctor may suggest that you take a dose of Telfast only when needed in order to reduce the occasional allergy symptoms. Your doctor may also suggest that you take a dose if you anticipate that you will get the symptoms of hay fever, such as when you became aware that there is an impending high pollen count. If the symptoms of allergic rhinitis are more persistent or frequent, your doctor may recommend that you take Telfast regularly every day during the pollen season in order to prevent your symptoms.
For chronic urticaria, your doctor will ask you to regularly take a dose every day for a certain period of time until the rash shows improvement.
Telfast tablets should be swallowed whole with a sip of water before you eat your meal. This medication is most effective if taken every day for persistent symptoms of allergic reactions. Do not double the dose of Telfast if you miss a dose. Do not compensate for a missed dose.
For hay fever in children aged six to eleven years the recommended Telfast dose is one 30 mg tablet taken twice a day, one in the morning and another one in the evening.
Telfast 120
For hay fever in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over the recommended dose is one 120 mg tablets taken once daily.
Telfast 180
