Ascoril FLU Drop 15 ml belongs to the combination medication called ‘anti-allergics’ primarily used to treat symptoms caused by the common cold, flu, allergies and other breathing problems like sinusitis and bronchitis. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body.
These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens.’ Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.
Ascoril FLU Drop 15 ml contains two medicines namely: Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine/anti-allergic) and Phenylephrine (decongestant). Chlorpheniramine is an ‘antihistamine’ that blocks the release of histamine in the body, which is known to cause allergies symptoms like common cold symptoms.
On the other hand, Phenylephrine is a ‘decongestant’ that helps in shrinking the blood vessels located in the nasal passage, thereby reducing stuffy nose. Together, Ascoril FLU Drop 15 ml effectively reduces allergic symptoms.
