Medicine Description hygi-tadine 5mg
hygi-tadine 5 mg tablets is a medication that contains desloratadine, a selective antagonist of peripheral H1 receptors. It works by inhibiting the action of histamine, a substance in the body that is responsible for allergic symptoms. When allergens enter the body, histamine is released, leading to symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose. By blocking the H1 receptors, desloratadine effectively reduces these symptoms, providing relief from allergic reactions without causing significant sedation, as it does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier.
