What is Piriteze Allergy Syrup?

What is an antihitamine?

When you are in contact with something you’re allergic to, such as pollen, your body begins to produce histamine. Histamine is an immune response to allergic substances and causes symptoms like watery eyes and sneezing with the intention to remove the allergen from your body. Antihistamines block histamine receptors, helping to prevent those symptoms from occurring right from the start.

Piriteze Allergy Syrup 1mg/ml is suitable for adults and children from 6 years old and up.
