About Hista 12 Tablet

Hista 12 Tablet belongs to the class of medication called antihistamines, primarily used to treat symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (hayfever), such as itchy or runny nose, sneezing, and itchy or burning eyes. Hista 12 Tablet may also be used to relieve symptoms associated with chronic urticarial (hives). These symptoms include itching, redness, and lumps on the skin. An allergy occurs when foreign elements known as allergens attack and invade our body, thereby causing the release of histamine (a chemical messenger) that causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, and watery nose, throat, and eyes.

Hista 12 Tablet contains dexchlorpheniramine, which works by inhibiting the action of histamine, a substance that causes allergic reactions. It works directly on the brain to reduce allergy symptoms by preventing the release of histamine. It aids in the relief of allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, or congestion.
