Fedlora Syrup 120 Ml

Description

FEDLORA is a medicinal product contains two active substances, Loratadine and Pseudoephedrine. Loratadine is a potent long acting tricyclic antihistamine with selective peripheral H1-receplor antagonistic activity. Pseudoephedrine sulfate, one of the naturally occurring alkaloids of Ephedra and an orally administered vasoconstrictor, produces a gradual but sustained decongestant effect facilitating shrinkage of congested mucosa in upper respiratory areas. The mucous membrane of the respiratory tract is decongested through the action of the sympathetic nerves. FEDLORA relieves symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (hay fever), such as: Nasal and sinus congestion. Sneezing. Runny nose. Watery, Itchy eyes. FEDLORA contains a combination of two medicines: loratadine (an antihistamine) and pseudoephedrine (a decongestant). Antihistamines help reduce allergic symptoms by preventing the effects of a substance called histamine. Histamine is produced by the body in response to foreign substances which the body is allergic to. Decongestants produce narrowing of blood vessels. This leads to clearing of the stuffy or blocked nose. Your doctor or pharmacist, however, may prescribe FEDLORA for another purpose.
