Hi dear. I'm dr. Asti. Thanks for asking HealthCareMagic. I have understood your query. May I know what happened to your mother? Does she have some kind allergic condition in skin?

Firstly I would like to explain the ingredient of those drugs. atopia cream contains cetearyl alcohol, glycerine, paraffin and sorbitol which works as moisturizer for dry skin and also emollient.
While fisiotiv cream contains olive oil, Shea butter and squalane. It works by moisturising and smoothing dry skin also. It can be used for eczema, itching, wrinkles and other dty condition.
Even atopia and fisiotiv cream have the same function as moisturizer for dry skin, they contain different​ active ingredients.

Allegra tablet has fexofenadine as antihistamine, works to decrease allergic reactions, not only at skin, but also in respiratory track, eyes and the other parts of body.
I'm so sorry I couldn't find what the ingredient of femxa tab is, or what the generic name is. If it contains fexofenadine, therefore it can be substituted by Allegra tablet.

If I were your mom's treating doctor, and found your mother has allergic symptoms and dry skin, I would suggest that she can use fisiotiv cream and Allegra tab as the therapy. You can also consult with your doctor to find what femxa tab is used for, to make sure that Allegra tab is right as the alternative.

If you have another question, feel free to discuss it in HealthCareMagic and ask me more about what you want to know detailly. I hope these can help you and your mom can get well soon.

Regards,
dr. Asti Yuliadha
