Telfast 30mg Children Tablets for Hay Fever Relief

You can help your child manage hay fever and allergy symptoms with these specially formulated tablets designed for children aged 6 to 11 years. Each tablet contains 30mg of fexofenadine hydrochloride, an antihistamine that provides effective relief from seasonal allergies without causing drowsiness. This pack contains 60 tablets, providing a convenient supply for managing your child's allergy symptoms throughout the hay fever season.

These tablets are specifically designed for children and offer a lower dose than adult formulations. You can give your child relief from sneezing, runny nose, itchy and watery eyes, and other uncomfortable allergy symptoms. The non-sedating formula means your child can continue with their daily activities, including school and play, without feeling tired or drowsy.

How Fexofenadine Works in Children

Fexofenadine belongs to a group of medicines called antihistamines. When your child comes into contact with allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander, their body releases histamine, which causes allergy symptoms. This medicine works by blocking histamine receptors, preventing the allergic reaction from occurring.

The medicine starts working within one hour of taking it and provides relief for up to 24 hours. This means you only need to give your child one tablet per day to manage their symptoms effectively. The long-lasting action helps maintain consistent symptom control throughout the day and night.

Suitable for School-Age Children

These tablets are specifically licensed for children aged 6 to 11 years who weigh more than 20kg. You should not give this medicine to younger children or those who weigh less than 20kg. The tablets are designed to be easy for children to swallow and have a neutral taste.

This medicine is particularly suitable for children who experience:

Seasonal hay fever symptoms during spring and summer months
Year-round allergic rhinitis from indoor allergens
Allergic reactions that interfere with school or daily activities
Multiple allergy symptoms that need comprehensive management

You can find additional support for managing your child's allergies in our allergy and hay fever collection, which includes other suitable treatments for different age groups.

Why Choose Non-Drowsy Allergy Relief

Unlike older antihistamines, telfast 30mg children tablets do not cross the blood-brain barrier significantly, which means they are much less likely to cause drowsiness or affect your child's concentration. This is particularly important for school-age children who need to remain alert and focused during lessons and activities.

The non-sedating properties mean your child can take their medicine in the morning and continue with their normal routine without experiencing the tiredness that can occur with some other allergy medicines. This helps ensure that allergy symptoms do not interfere with their education or social activities.

Clinical Safety Profile for Paediatric Use

These tablets have been specifically studied and approved for use in children. The 30mg dose provides effective symptom relief whilst maintaining an excellent safety profile for this age group. Clinical studies have shown that fexofenadine is well-tolerated in children when used as directed.

You should store the tablets in their original packaging at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep them out of reach of younger children and check the expiry date before giving them to your child. Always follow the dosing instructions and speak to your pharmacist if you have any questions about giving this medicine to your child.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

Recommended Dosage for Children Aged 6-11

You should give your child one tablet once daily, preferably at the same time each day to maintain consistent symptom control. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken with or without food. Do not crush or break the tablet as this may affect how the medicine works.

If your child has difficulty swallowing tablets, you can give the tablet with their favourite drink, but ensure they swallow it whole. The timing of the dose is flexible, but many parents find giving it in the morning works well as it provides all-day symptom relief.

Important Administration Guidelines

You should not exceed one tablet in 24 hours, even if symptoms seem severe. If you forget to give your child their daily dose, give it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. In this case, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Never give a double dose to make up for a forgotten tablet.

If your child's symptoms do not improve after several days of treatment, or if they worsen, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist. Some children may need additional treatment or investigation to identify specific allergens that are causing their symptoms.

Understanding Potential Side Effects

Like all medicines, Telfast Tablets 30mg for Children can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most children tolerate this medicine very well, and serious side effects are rare. If you notice any concerning symptoms after your child takes this medicine, you should seek advice from your pharmacist or doctor. For additional guidance on managing children's health conditions, you can explore our baby and toddler collection for age-appropriate healthcare products.

The most commonly reported side effects in children include headache, drowsiness (though this is less common than with older antihistamines), and stomach upset. These effects are usually mild and temporary, often improving as your child's body adjusts to the medicine.

Possible side effects may include:

Headache
Drowsiness or fatigue
Dizziness
Nausea or stomach upset
Diarrhoea
Sleep disturbances
Nervousness or restlessness
Dry mouth
Skin rash or itching
Muscle pain
Back pain
Viral infections (such as colds)

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
