How Piriton U Products work
Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic medication. When your body is exposed to an allergen (pollen, animal dander, house dust etc.), it produces a chemical called histamine. This causes watery eyes, runny or blocked nose, sneezing, skin rashes, itching etc. Chlorpheniramine Maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, thereby relieving these symptoms.

The best way to prevent any sort of allergic reaction is to avoid the substance (dust, pet fur, and hair, insect bites, food allergies) that you're allergic to if you can. If you have hay fever, try not to spend too much time outside when the pollen count is high. Shower and change your clothes after you have been outside to wash off pollen. Wear a mask to cover your nose, mouth and wear wraparound sunglasses to stop dust from getting into your eyes whenever you step outside.
