How long does it take for Cetphar Tablet to work?

Can I take Cetphar Tablet and Fexofenadine together?
Sometimes your doctor might advise you to combine two different antihistamines if you're being treated for a severe itchy rash. If you are taking Cetphar Tablet during the day, your doctor may prescribe another antihistamine at night that causes drowsiness, especially if the itch makes it difficult to sleep.

For how long should I continue Cetphar Tablet?
The duration of using Cetphar Tablet depends on the specific condition being treated. For example, if you are taking it for a bite from an insect, use it for a day or two. On the other hand, if you are taking it to prevent symptoms of chronic allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nose) or chronic urticaria, it might be necessary to take Cetphar Tablet for a longer duration. Consult your doctor if you need clarification on using Cetphar Tablet's duration.
