How does the active ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient helps with allergies, relieves itching and has a pain-relieving effect. It suppresses the effect of the body's own substance histamine. Histamine is a type of messenger substance that plays an important role in the development of inflammation and allergic reactions. By blocking this messenger substance, the allergic reaction process is interrupted.
