Treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), perennial allergies, and associated symptoms including nasal congestion, sinus pressure, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
Acrivastine blocks histamine H1 receptors to reduce allergic reactions, while pseudoephedrine constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages to reduce swelling and congestion. Together they address both the histamine-mediated symptoms and nasal obstruction.
Pseudoephedrine-containing products may have restrictions due to regulations on decongestant sales. Use caution in patients with hypertension, heart disease, thyroid disorders, or glaucoma. May cause drowsiness with some formulations. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications.
