Terfenadine
Identification
- Summary
Terfenadine is an antihistamine for the treatment of allergy symptoms.
- Generic Name
- Terfenadine
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB00342
- Background
In the U.S., Terfenadine was superseded by fexofenadine in the 1990s due to the risk of cardiac arrhythmia caused by QT interval prolongation.

Avoid life-threatening adverse drug eventsImprove clinical decision support with information on contraindications & blackbox warnings, population restrictions, harmful risks, & more.Avoid life-threatening adverse drug events & improve clinical decision support.- Pharmacodynamics
Terfenadine, an H1-receptor antagonist antihistamine, is similar in structure to astemizole and haloperidol, a butyrophenone antipsychotic. The active metabolite of terfenadine is fexofenadine.
- Mechanism of action
Terfenadine competes with histamine for binding at H1-receptor sites in the GI tract, uterus, large blood vessels, and bronchial muscle. This reversible binding of terfenadine to H1-receptors suppresses the formation of edema, flare, and pruritus resulting from histaminic activity. As the drug does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier, CNS depression is minimal.

- Exercise caution with grapefruit products. Grapefruit is a CYP3A4 inhibitor, and terfenadine is metabolized by CYP3A4. Co-administration may increase terfenadine concentrations and the risk of QT prolongation.
- Exercise caution with St. John's Wort. This herb induces CYP3A4 and terfenadine is a substrate of CYP3A4.
