Description
What Rhinolast is and what it is used for?
Rhinolast belongs to a group of medicines known as antihistamines. These medications function by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance the body generates during allergic reactions. Rhinolast is prescribed to manage allergic rhinitis, an allergy that can occur seasonally (like hay fever caused by pollen) or persistently throughout the year (such as allergies to dust mites, dog or cat hair). Typically, allergic rhinitis presents symptoms like a runny or blocked nose, sneezing, and itching. Rhinolast is intended to alleviate these symptoms. This product is suitable for use by adults and children aged 6 years and older.
