1. What Dasergin is and what it is used for
What Dasergin is
Dasergin contains desloratadine, which is an antihistamine.
How Dasergin works
Dasergin is a non-sedating antiallergic medicine that helps to control allergic reactions and their symptoms.
When to use Dasergin
Dasergin relieves the symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal passages caused by an allergy, such as hay fever or house dust mite allergy) in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. These symptoms include sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy palate, and itchy, red, or watery eyes.
Dasergin is also used to relieve the symptoms associated with urticaria (a skin condition caused by an allergy). These symptoms include itching and skin rashes.
The relief of these symptoms lasts a full day and helps you to continue your daily activities and normal sleep periods.
