Dezeedine 10 Tablet

Dezeedine 10 Tablet is an antihistamine medicine containing 10 mg of desloratadine. It is used to relieve symptoms of allergies, such as sneezing, a runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin rashes. Blocking histamine (a substance in the body responsible for allergic reactions) helps reduce these symptoms effectively. It is less likely to cause drowsiness, making it suitable for use during the day. The tablet is usually taken once daily, with or without food, as advised by a doctor. Common side effects may include headache, dry mouth, or fatigue. Consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended before use, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Uses of Dezeedine 10 Tablet

• Reduces swelling and irritation caused by histamine in the body

How Dezeedine 10 Tablet Works

Dezeedine 10 Tablet contains desloratadine, which is a second-generation antihistamine. When the body encounters allergens, it releases a chemical called histamine that triggers symptoms like sneezing, a runny nose, itching, watery eyes, and skin rashes. Desloratadine works by selectively blocking the H1 histamine receptors in the body, preventing histamine from attaching to these receptors. This action stops the allergic response at its source, reducing inflammation, irritation, and other discomforts caused by histamine. Because it is non-sedating, it provides relief from allergy symptoms without causing significant drowsiness, allowing for normal daily activities.
