About Apvil 25mg Tablet

PHENIRAMINE belongs to the class of medication called 'anti-allergic' primarily used to treat allergic conditions in adults and children above 5 years of age like hay fever and urticaria or hives (skin rash) caused due to provoked immune system allergy-causing agents (allergens). Besides this, it is also used to treat nausea, vomiting, dizziness due to ear problems (like travel sickness and Meniere's disease). An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as 'allergens.' These allergens provoke the immune system, causing allergic symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, itchiness and inflammation.
