Uses of Histafree 120
Treatment of Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria Treatment of Allergic rhinitis
Benefits of Histafree 120
- In Allergic rhinitis
- Histafree blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
- In Hives and skin allergy
- Histafree calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
- In Itching
- Histafree relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
- In Allergic asthma
- Histafree reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.
How Histafree 120 works
Histafree 120 Tablet belongs to a class of medicines called antihistamines. It blocks the effects of a chemical called histamine, which is responsible for causing inflammation and its associated symptoms, such as itching, redness, swelling, and irritation.
How to take Histafree 120

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Warnings and precautions
Older antihistamines cause marked drowsiness — do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this affects you. Tell your doctor promptly about any change in mood, sleep, agitation or unusual thoughts while taking montelukast; this is uncommon but recognised. This relieves the symptoms of an allergy; it does not treat the cause, and it is not a treatment for an acute asthma attack. Seek emergency care for swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing.
Do not take Histafree if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. The sedating antihistamines are not suitable for very young children, or for people with glaucoma or an enlarged prostate, without medical advice.
Interactions with other medicines
Alcohol, sleeping tablets and other sedating medicines add to the drowsiness. Tell your doctor about all cold and cough preparations — many already contain an antihistamine.
How to store Histafree 120
Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
