Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Phenylephrine acts by constricting the blood vessels around the nose and thus reduces swelling. This helps clear the blocked nose and provides relief from nasal discomfort due to colds or allergies.
- Ebastine works by inhibiting the action of histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction, and improves allergic symptoms like watery eyes, throat irritation, sneezing, and nasal congestion. The combined action of these two components helps relieve nasal discomfort, sinus congestion, pressure, and other symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
