Both enantiomers of Allegra (fexofenadine hydrochloride) displayed approximately equipotent antihistaminic effects. Allegra (fexofenadine hydrochloride) inhibited antigen-induced bronchospasm in sensitized guinea pigs and histamine release from peritoneal mast cells in rats. The clinical significance of these findings is unknown. In laboratory animals Tyron Smith Hat , no anticholinergic or alpha1-adrenergic blocking effects were observed. Moreover, no sedative or other central nervous system effects were observed. Radiolabeled tissue distribution studies in rats indicated that fexofenadine does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
