Elriz Syrup

Elriz Syrup is a medication primarily used for the treatment of allergic conditions, cough, and cold symptoms. It contains Cetirizine (an antihistamine) and Paracetamol (a pain reliever), working together to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and fever. Elriz Syrup is commonly recommended for individuals suffering from allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergies, and other conditions related to colds and flu. It is well-tolerated and provides effective relief from these symptoms.

Uses of Elriz Syrup

• Relieves allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny nose caused by hay fever or allergic rhinitis.
• Effective in treating common cold symptoms like congestion, cough, and sneezing.

How Elriz Syrup Works

Elriz Syrup contains two active ingredients: Cetirizine and Paracetamol. Cetirizine is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, a substance produced during allergic reactions, helping to reduce symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose. Paracetamol works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and fever, thereby reducing discomfort and lowering body temperature. Together, these ingredients provide fast and effective relief from allergy symptoms, fever, and other cold-related discomforts.
