Chlorphenamine Allergy Hayfever Syrup 2mg/5ml Sugar Free is an alternate version to Piriton Syrup

Chlorphenamine Allergy Hayfever Syrup 2mg/5ml Sugar Free, 150ml

Chlorphenamine Allergy Hayfever Syrup 2mg/5ml Sugar Free contains Chlorphenamine Maleate, which belongs to a group of medicines called antihistamines, which act to relieve the symptoms of allergic reactions.

It can be used to relieve itching and redness of the skin and swelling associated with allergies, insect bites, hayfever, and other allergic conditions including reactions to food and medicines and year-round sneezing and runny nose.

Chlorphenamine allergy relief syrup strawberry flavour can be used to relieve the symptoms of hay fever, skin rashes, hives or nettle rash. It can also be used to counteract allergic reactions to foods, pet hair, stings and insect bites.

The active ingredient in the Chlorphenamine Allergy Hayfever Syrup 2mg/5ml Sugar Free is chlorphenamine, a type of antihistamine. Antihistamines work by blocking the effect of histamine, a chemical produced by the body when it mistakes a harmless substance such as pollen and dust as an invader. Blocking histamine means that itchiness, inflammation and congestion will begin to reduce. This syrup comes in a delicious strawberry flavour so its easy to consume when you need it most.
