Piriton Syrup – Fast-Acting Allergy Relief for Adults & Children
Piriton Syrup provides fast and effective relief from a wide range of allergic conditions, including hay fever, skin allergies, food allergies, insect bites, and more.
How it works:
Piriton contains chlorphenamine maleate, an antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine – the chemical your body produces when it detects allergens. This helps ease allergy symptoms like itching, swelling, rashes, and sneezing.
