The preparation combines the effect of antihistamine with a drug that reduces congestion of the mucous membranes. Pseudoephedrine suppresses the blood vessels of the mucous membrane, and dexbombreniramine maleate exhibits antihistamines. The product reduces swelling of the nasal mucous membrane and clears the nasal passages. It also reduces the discharge of nasal secretion, sneezing and itching of the nose and throat, as well as tearing and itchy eyes occurring in allergic rhinitis. Decsbromfeniramine maleate shows mild sedative effects. Pseudoephedrine sulphate has primarily α-mimetic activity as compared to β-mimetic activity. After oral administration, pseudoephedrine sulfate shrinks the blood vessels and therefore reduces nasal congestion. It exhibits indirect sympathomimetic activity, mainly due to the effect on the release of adrenergic mediators from post-convulsive nerve endings. Pseudoephedrine, when given orally at the recommended doses, can also cause other activities related to stimulation of the sympathetic system, such as increased blood pressure, tachycardia or symptoms of CNS stimulation.
