Allergic diseases are currently encountered so often that the question - whether it is possible to prevent the onset of symptoms or ease the condition of the patient, worries very many. That's why drugs are so popular that they improve the patient's condition and stop the symptoms - antihistamines (drugs that suppress the development of allergy symptoms) during his life were accepted by every person at least once. "Tavegil", the instruction on which application is necessarily embedded in each package of tablets, syrup or ampoules of this medication, is known among doctors and their patients for high efficiency, relatively small amount of contraindications and affordable price.

"Tavegil", the instruction for the use of which is written in a simple and understandable language for each patient, refers to antihistamines by its mechanism of action. This means that after taking the drug, the receptors of the cells responsible for the formation of the intolerance reaction cease to perceive histamine, the main mediator of allergy. At the same time, the permeability of the walls of the blood vessels is suppressed (as a result of which the swelling of the skin and mucous membranes disappears) and the itching of any origin diminishes.

There are several interesting facts that help explain the popularity of the drug "Tavegil". The composition of this drug guarantees the minimum severity of side effects - the main component of the drug is clemastine, which does not cause drowsiness. Today, on the shelves of pharmacies, this drug can be found in the form of tablets for adults, a syrup for children and a solution for intramuscular and intravenous injections for rapid relief of allergy symptoms - for each category of patients you can choose the desired form of medicine.
