Sensitive To Temperature Changes, Dust. Taking Fedac. Any Side Effects?

im taking fedac on a regular basis as I find myself very sensitive to temperature change and dusty environment which maybe I have sensitive nose. I wanted to know is there any side effects on FEDAC? I have been taking for more than 6 years from now. I find that I have a low body immune system too. Could this be related to FEdac?

Hello, Welcome to HCM.

Reviwed your history. Symptoms of nasal congestion and discharge with seasonal variation and with dust. This could be due to allergic rhinitis ( allergy affecting nose and upper respiratory tract. ). Fedac is being used which is a decongestive drug consists of triprolidine and pseudoephedrine. This drug relieves the symptoms but its effects are temporary and short acting. The major side effects include drowsiness, sedation due to its anti histaminic drug (Triprolidine ) and dry nose, mouth and rarely atrophic rhinitis due to Psedoephedrine. Long-term continuous usage is not recommended. For persistent symptoms others drugs like corticosteriods are available to achieve adequate control of symptoms.

It is advisable on consult a ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat speciaist) or Allergy specialist for comprehensive management. Avoiding dust, smoke and to stay warm with adequate clothing protection is recommended.

I hope u find this info helpful.

wish u good health.
