Medicine Description histazine-1 10mg
Histazine-1 10mg Tablets is a medication that combines cetirizine, an antihistamine, with phenylephrine, a decongestant. Cetirizine works by blocking the action of histamines, which are substances in the body that trigger allergic symptoms. By inhibiting the effects of histamines, cetirizine effectively alleviates symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose. Phenylephrine complements this action by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, leading to decreased swelling and congestion. Together, these components provide relief from allergy-related symptoms and improve overall respiratory comfort.
