Chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine, relieves the symptoms of rhinitis (runny nose and sneezing) associated with flu and colds. Pseudoephedrine causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing swelling in the nasal and sinus mucosa, ultimately making breathing easier.

Indications

The indications for using Tabcin Trend are the relief of flu and cold symptoms accompanied by fever, runny nose, sore and scratchy throat, sneezing, headache, swelling of the nasal and sinus mucosa and a general feeling of malaise.
