DESCRIPTION
Diphenhydramine oral solution is a pale pink, clear syrup
with raspberry flavour .It relieves symptoms from allergies, eg. runny
nose; sneezing etc. It is an effective expectorant as well. It can be used for
the treatment of hives and angioedema.
One of the active ingredients, diphenhydramine, is a
sedating antihistamine which acts on histamine H1 receptors. It also has
anticholinergic actions. Antihistamines block the action of histamine, prevent
dilatation of blood vessels, reduce redness
and swelling. The anticholinergic action of diphenhydramine also contributes to
this effect. Antihistamines pass from the blood
into the brain to produce general sedation and depression of other brain
functions, including the vomiting and coughing
mechanisms.
