ALLERGIN SYRUP

What is Allergin Syrup?

Allergin Syrup is an antihistamine medication commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with various allergic conditions. It contains Chlorpheniramine malate, a potent ingredient that works by blocking histamine receptors in the body. Histamine is a chemical released during allergic reactions, leading to common symptoms like itching, swelling, and runny nose. By reducing histamine production, Allergin Syrup helps to alleviate these symptoms and provides comfort during allergy flare-ups.

Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis): Helps relieve sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes caused by pollen and seasonal allergies.

How Allergin Syrup Works in the Body

Chlorpheniramine Maleate, the active ingredient in Allergin Syrup, works by blocking the histamine receptors (H1 receptors) in the body. Histamine is a naturally occurring chemical that is released by the immune system in response to allergens. Histamine binds to histamine receptors, causing symptoms such as swelling, redness, itching, and increased mucus production.

By inhibiting histamine’s action, Chlorpheniramine Maleate helps reduce the intensity of these allergic responses, providing relief from symptoms like:

Sneezing
Itchy, watery eyes
Runny nose
Skin rashes and itching
