Alervil 15 mg/5 ml Syrup

Alervil 15 mg/5 ml syrup by Incepta Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is a medicine that contains Pheniramine Maleate. In Bangladesh, it is mainly used to relieve symptoms of allergic conditions such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, hives and other allergic reactions.

Pheniramine Maleate works by blocking histamine H1 receptors, reducing the effects of histamine released during allergy. A key caution is that it can cause drowsiness and slow reaction time, so avoid driving or operating machinery if affected.

• Urticaria and other itchy allergic skin conditions.
• Adjunctive treatment of allergic reactions when an antihistamine is appropriate.
• Injection may be used by healthcare professionals for acute allergic conditions as part of appropriate medical management.
