My doctor prescribed Allegra 60 mg for my allergies, but the pharmacist says it only comes in 120 mg and 180 mg tablets; how can I get my correct dose?
Fexofenadine (Allegra) actually does come in a 60 mg tablet, as well as a liquid suspension, which is often much easier and safer for a three-year-old to take. Please do not attempt to cut the larger 120 mg or 180 mg adult tablets, as this can easily lead to an incorrect and unsafe dose for your child. I gently encourage you to call your pediatrician's office to clarify the prescription, or check with another pharmacy to see if they have the 60 mg strength or liquid formulation in stock.
