Mizollen

Mizollen is an antihistamine, used for the treatment of various allergic reactions like hay fever and seasonal allergies. It relieves symptoms associated with allergic reactions like sneezing, itchy rashes and irritation of the eyes and the nose. It works by stopping the effects of a substance called histamine.

Exposure to substances like dust, animal fur and pollen can cause allergic reactions, which can be extremely inconvenient. Unlike majority anti-allergic medication, Mizollen is a non-sedating medication. Mizollen is also used to treat symptoms of Utacaria, in which skin develops an itchy rash, usually triggered when an allergen meets the skin.

Mizollen contains Mizolastine as its active ingredient. It is a non-sedating and a fast acting anti-histamine. Histamine is a substance that is released when cells detect something harmful. It binds to specific receptors present in some cells all over the body called the H1 receptors. After binding to these receptors, histamine triggers various allergic reactions. The secretion triggers expanding of blood vessels, swelling and inflammation and contraction of certain smooth muscles.

Cells in the lining of your nose release histamine when they come in contact with an allergen. This causes multiple allergic reactions like sneezing, runny nose and congestion. Antihistamines do not stop the secretion of histamine. They only prevent it from binding to the H1 receptors stopping the allergic reaction.
