An allergy occurs when foreign elements, known as allergens, attack and invade our body, thereby causing the release of histamine (a chemical messenger) that causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, and watery nose and eyes.

Elwigan Injection 2 ml contains Promethazine, an antihistamine (anti-allergic drug) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Also, it blocks the histamine receptors in the vomiting centre in the brain and prevents nausea and vomiting. Additionally, Promethazine possesses sedative effects and helps you feel relaxed before and after surgery.
