1. What is Dynid and what is it used for
What is Dynid
Dynid contains desloratadine, which is an antihistamine.
How Dynid works
Dynid is an anti-allergic medicine that does not cause drowsiness. It helps control allergic reactions and their symptoms.
When to take Dynid
Dynid relieves symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (hay fever or allergy to dust mites) in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. Symptoms include sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy palate, and itchy, red, or watery eyes. Dynid is also used to relieve symptoms associated with urticaria (a skin condition caused by an allergy). Symptoms include itchy skin and hives. Relief of these symptoms persists throughout the day, making it easier to return to normal daily activities and normal sleep.
