Pharmacology
Fexofenadine is considered an 'inverse agonist' of the H1 receptor, with potent and selective affinity for H1 receptors, and no evidence of antidopaminergic, antiserotonergic, anticholinergic, sedative, or adrenergic blocking activity. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier and is unlikely to cause significant CNS effects.
