Introduction
Fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets and anti-anxiety medications can be taken on the same day under medical supervision. These two drugs have different mechanisms of action and do not exhibit direct antagonism or synergistic toxicity. However, dosage and administration timing must strictly follow medical advice. If dizziness, drowsiness, or other adverse reactions occur after concomitant use, prompt medical attention is recommended. Fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets are a second-generation antihistamine.

Fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets are a second-generation antihistamine that primarily alleviates allergic symptoms by blocking histamine H1 receptors. They have minimal effects on the central nervous system and generally do not cause significant sedation or drowsiness, with no overlapping targets with anti-anxiety medications.
Anti-anxiety drugs mainly act on the central nervous system to regulate neurotransmitter balance and relieve anxiety. Common types include benzodiazepines and SSRIs. Concomitant use with fexofenadine hydrochloride does not affect the efficacy of either drug nor increase the risk of serious adverse reactions.
The two medications should be taken 1–2 hours apart to avoid simultaneous administration; dosages must be strictly followed as prescribed without self-adjustment. Patients with allergic predispositions should inform their doctor in advance. Maintain regular sleep patterns during treatment and avoid alcohol and stimulant beverages.
