Fexofenadine is an antihistamine primarily used to treat allergic symptoms and is not indicated for the treatment of shingles. Shingles, caused by the varicella-zoster virus, typically requires antiviral medications, pain relievers, and sometimes corticosteroids for effective management. While fexofenadine may help alleviate itching associated with shingles, it does not address the underlying viral infection or its complications. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options for shingles.
