Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Fenox, like most newer medicines, has only limited data in older people and in patients with kidney or liver problems, so it should be given with care to these groups. Patients who have had heart disease, or who currently have it, should be told that antihistamines as a class have been linked with tachycardia and palpitations. Fenox tablets are unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machines. This is based on how the medicine works in the body and on the side effects that have been reported. In objective tests, Fenox showed no significant effect on the central nervous system, so most people can drive or do tasks that need concentration. Still, some people react unusually to medicines, so it's a good idea to check how you respond before driving or doing anything complicated.
