What is Stahist AD?
Chlorcyclizine, an antihistamine, reduces the effects that histamine has on the body. Histamine may cause symptoms such as sneezing and itching. It can also lead to watery eyes and a runny or blocked nose.
Pseudoephedrine works as a nasal decongestant by shrinking blood vessels. Dilated blood vessels can cause congestion in the nasal passages.
Stahist AD treats symptoms such as runny or stuffy nasal passages, sneezing and itching, watery eyelids, sinus congestion, and other colds or allergies. Stahist AD can be used in other ways not mentioned in this guide.
