エスエス製薬 アレジオン20

Features

Epinastine hydrochloride preparations
●Allegion 20 contains 20mg of epinastine hydrochloride, a second-generation antihistamine, per tablet. It is highly effective against sneezing and runny nose.
This oral medication for allergic rhinitis contains a second-generation antihistamine ingredient, so it does not cause drowsiness.
●Rhinitis symptoms caused by pollen or house dust occur when the causative substances such as histamine and leukotriene are released in the body when they are inhaled.
Epinastine hydrochloride inhibits the action of the causative substance and also suppresses its release, thereby exerting an excellent effect on rhinitis symptoms caused by allergies.
●It is effective when taken once a day before going to bed. However, when using it for seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms such as pollen allergies, it is more effective if you take it as soon as symptoms start to appear.
