Indications

Diphenhydramine + Levomenthol is used to relieve cough and the congestion that often comes with it. Doctors also use it for allergic symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and an itchy nose, eyes or throat.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Diphenhydramine has both cough-suppressing (antitussive) and antihistamine actions. It eases cough by working centrally, in the brain stem, and it also treats sneezing, runny nose and allergy symptoms such as itchy eyes, nose and skin. Levomenthol acts as a decongestant and has an anti-inflammatory effect too. This helps soothe the cough, and it reduces congestion and inflammation in the nasal passage and lungs, so breathing becomes easier.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Diphenhydramine has been used widely for many years without any harmful effects being reported. Still, it crosses the placenta and has been found in breast milk. For this reason, doctors prescribe it only when the likely benefit to the mother is greater than any possible risk to the developing baby or the breastfed infant.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
