It helps to reduce the lumen of the vessels, as a result of which hyperemia and edema of the mucous membranes of the nose, nasopharynx and nasal sinuses are eliminated.

Chlorphenamine has an antiallergic effect. It is a blocker of histamine receptors. This component is able to reduce swelling and hyperemia of the nasal mucosa, nasal sinuses and nasopharynx, and also to weaken exudative manifestations.
