Medicine Description avil 75mg
Avil 75mg Tablets is a medication that contains pheniramine maleate, an antihistamine that exerts its therapeutic effects primarily by blocking the H1 histamine receptors. This action inhibits the physiological effects of histamine, a substance produced during allergic reactions. By preventing histamine from binding to its receptors, Avil helps to alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling associated with allergic conditions. Additionally, pheniramine has mild sedative properties, which can help relieve symptoms of allergies such as sneezing and runny nose, further enhancing patient comfort.
