How it Works

Histazine 5mg Syrup is an antiallergic medication. When the body is exposed to an allergen (pollen, animal dander, house dust, etc.), it releases a chemical called histamine. This chemical causes watery eyes, runny or blocked nose, sneezing, skin rashes, itching, etc. Histazine 5mg Syrup also works directly on several areas of the brain to prevent nausea and vomiting and help you feel more relaxed.
