What does Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufacture as M
755 pill? What kind of medication is the blue-colored oblong
pill with "M 755" stamped on one side (the other side is blank)?
Mylan's M 755 pill is Fexofenadine
hydrochloride 180 mg, a generic version of the medication
otherwise known under the brand name Allegra. It is
used to relieve symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis in
adults and children aged 2 and above. The medication is also used to
treat uncomplicated skin manifestations of chronic idiopathic
urticaria in adults and children of 6 months and older.
In adults and children aged 12 and older, the recommended dose of
Fexofenadine HCl is 180 mg once daily (that equals one M 755 pill),
or 60 mg taken twice during the day (e.g., two M 752 pills taken twice a day).
A dose of 60 mg daily is recommended as the starting dose in
patients with decreased renal function. The medication is taken with
water.
In children aged 6 to 11, the recommended dose of Fexofenadine HCl
pills is 30 mg twice a day. In children under 6 years old, an oral
suspension of Fexofenadine HCl is usually used instead of pills (in
doses of 15 to 30 mg twice daily).
As you may see, M 755 pill may not always be
recommended for every occasion as the dosage of Fexofenadine HCl
in it can be too high for some patients.
You benefit directly when Mylan Generics are used in place of
name-brand medicines. First, because you will be receiving a high
quality medicine, and second, because Mylan Generics, including Mylan
M 755 pills, are generally more affordable.
The manufacturing facilities of all pharmaceutical companies - those
making name-brand drugs and those making equivalent alternatives - are
routinely inspected by the FDA. These savings are the result of Mylan's
good, old-fashioned, American competition. As you can well appreciate,
when there is more than one company manufacturing and/or selling the
same product, the competition generally results in cost savings for the
consumer.
However, you may try and order Fexofenadine HCl
(Allegra) marketed by other manufacturers, too!
