Medicine Description riconia
Riconia Syrup is a medication that combines chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine, and phenylephrine, a decongestant. Chlorpheniramine functions by blocking the action of histamine at H1 receptors, thus effectively reducing allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Phenylephrine acts as a vasoconstrictor, narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages to decrease swelling and congestion. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to provide relief from symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infections and allergic reactions.
