How it Works
Peritol 1.5mg Oral Drops is an antihistaminic medication. It blocks the natural chemical substance (histamine) produced in the body during an allergic state and subsides (lowers) your child’s immune system’s response to these conditions. Peritol 1.5mg Oral Drops also works as a hunger stimulant by stimulating the appetite center and inhibiting the satiety center, respectively. This results in an increased urge for food intake, thus increasing the total energy requirements of your child.
