HOW CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE WORKS
Wikoryl DS Syrup Orange is an antiallergic medication. When your body is exposed to an allergen (pollen, animal dander, house dust etc.), it produces a chemical called histamine. This causes watery eyes, runny or blocked nose, sneezing, skin rashes, itching etc. Wikoryl DS Syrup Orange works by blocking the action of histamine, thereby relieving these symptoms.
HOW PHENYLEPHRINE WORKS
Wikoryl DS Syrup Orange is a decongestant. It works by narrowing the small blood vessels which provides temporary relief from inflammation (redness and swelling) and discomfort.
HOW PARACETAMOL WORKS
Wikoryl DS Syrup Orange is an analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-pyretic (fever reducer). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and fever.
