Health Canada status: MARKETED
What is ALLEGRA 24 HOUR?
ALLEGRA 24 HOUR 120 MG contains FEXOFENADINE HYDROCHLORIDE : 120 MG. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02242819, held by SANOFI CONSUMER HEALTH INC, supplied as TABLET for ORAL administration. Health Canada currently lists it as marketed, status dated 15-Nov-2019. Nexara Health is a licensed Canadian wholesale distributor (DEL 3-002896-A) and can source this product for hospitals, pharmacies and clinics. Availability and lead time are confirmed per order.
What is ALLEGRA 24 HOUR used for?
ALLEGRA® (fexofenadine hydrochloride) is indicated for: the relief of symptoms associated with seasonal (ALLEGRA® 12 Hour, ALLEGRA® 24 Hour) and perennial (ALLEGRA® 12 Hour) allergic rhinitis, in adults and children 12 years of age and over. ALLEGRA® 12 Hour and ALLEGRA® HIVES are indicated for the relief of symptoms associated with chronic idiopathic urticaria in adults and children 12 years of age and older.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Fexofenadine cost around the world?
Fexofenadine is listed on 5 of the national price registers Nexara ingests. Each country publishes on a different basis, so those figures are not comparable with one another — or with a Canadian wholesale price.
What a market publishes matters more than the number it publishes. Australia publishes a ex-manufacturer; Hungary publishes a producer price (ex-factory); South Africa publishes a single exit price. Comparing an ex-factory ceiling against a pharmacy public price tells you nothing about either, and comparing either against a Canadian landed cost tells you less.
| Market | Price basis published there | Brands | Packs listed | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | acquisition | 2 | 21 | USD███.██ |
| South Africa | single exit price | 5 | 8 | ZAR███.██ |
| Australia | ex-manufacturer | 5 | 5 | AUD███.██ |
| United Kingdom | hospital | 2 | 2 | GBP███.██ |
| Hungary | producer price (ex-factory) | 1 | 1 | HUF███.██ |
37 pack listings across 15 brand entries and 5 price bases, refreshed 08 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Fexofenadine pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.
Canada publishes no comparable public list price. For a delivered Canadian price on a licensed account, verify your licence — it takes about a minute.
Is there a generic Fexofenadine in Canada, and who makes it?
Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.
Only one market authorization holder has a Canadian DIN containing Fexofenadine — 3 DINs, of which 3 are currently marketed. There is no second Canadian source today, so a supply interruption on this holder has no domestic substitute at the same molecule.
| Market authorization holder | DINs | Marketed | Brand names | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SANOFI CONSUMER HEALTH INC | 3 | 3 | ALLEGRA 12 HOUR, ALLEGRA 24 HOUR, ALLEGRA HIVES | Sourceable in Canada |
Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.
| Strength on the label | 120 MG |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | TABLET |
| Route | ORAL |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | ALLEGRA® 12 Hour 60 mg tablets are available in blister packs of 36 tablets. ALLEGRA® 24 Hour 120 mg tablets are available in blister packs of 12, 30, 48, and 72 tablets. ALLEGRA® HIVES 60 mg tablets are available in blister packs of 36 tablets. |
| Storage | Refer to section 11 STORAGE, STABILITY AND DISPOSAL for precise storage conditions. |
Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation, because this listing covers more than one of them.

Health Canada record and identifiers
The regulatory facts straight from the Drug Product Database, plus every identifier form Nexara accepts on a purchase order. A DIN written without its leading zeros is the commonest reason an order line fails to match.

How is it administered?
Adults/Children 12+: 60 mg every 12 hours or 120 mg once daily with water. Renal impairment: start with 60 mg once daily. Do not take with fruit juices.
Included because it drives pack selection and wastage. Consult the monograph.
Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity to fexofenadine hydrochloride or to any ingredients in the formulation or component of the container.
Warnings and precautions
Do not take with fruit juices. Oral bioavailability may be reduced in patients with surgically manipulated or inflamed intestinal tissue. Potential for increased exposure in elderly/renal patients.
What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.

A molecule with zero marketed DINs cannot be sourced domestically, however many approvals it holds — if one of these sits on a formulary or in an older protocol, that is the line to check.

Not clinical advice. These tables describe what can be supplied in Canada, not what should be prescribed. Substitution within or across classes is a prescriber and pharmacist decision, and interchangeability is determined provincially.
What else is ALLEGRA 24 HOUR called?
The same molecule, Fexofenadine, is registered under other names elsewhere. Buyers and prescribers searching from outside Canada — or working from a foreign prescription or tender document — often know it by one of these:
| Name | Script | Registered in |
|---|---|---|
| Telfast | Latin | Australia |
| Xergic | Latin | Australia |
Names are taken from national medicine registers and published price lists. A product registered abroad is not authorized for sale in Canada unless it holds its own DIN; import is possible only through the routes Health Canada permits.
How can I get it?
Nexara Health supplies this product to licensed Canadian buyers — pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, licensed distributors, and clinical trial sponsors or their CROs. We confirm stock, pack size, expiry and pricing at the time of quotation. If the product is on backorder or in shortage, we identify equivalent alternatives and import options where permitted.
Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
