It is ok to have a glass of wine with fexofenadine

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic

It is ok to have a glass of wine while taking fexofenadine. However, it can cause pronounced drowsiness and sedation. So be careful not to drive or do anything that requires you be alert when combining alcohol and fexofenadine. Limit the alcohol intake to 1 or 2 glass of wine to avoid excessive drowsiness.
