'Erius' preparation: instructions for use

The "Erius" medication describes the instruction for use as a drug related to a group of drugs called antihistamines. They have the ability to block peripheral H1 histamine receptors and suppress allergic reactions that occur under the influence of certain factors.

- Nasal congestion.
