Medicine Description hygi-tadine 5 mg
hygi-tadine 5 mg tablets is a medication containing desloratadine, which acts as a selective antagonist of peripheral H1 histamine receptors. By binding to these receptors, desloratadine inhibits the effects of histamine, a substance produced by the body during allergic reactions. This mechanism helps reduce symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria by decreasing vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and sensory nerve stimulation caused by histamine release.
