HOW
AXCEL
DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
FORTE SYRUP WORKS
Dexchlorpheniramine Maleate is an
alkylamine
derivative
with
antihistamine
and
anticholinergic
effects.
Histamine
is
a
substance
produced by the body that binds to its
receptor (H1 receptor) as part of the
body defense system. The binding of
histamine
and
H1
receptor
causes
allergic
symptoms.
Dexchlorpheniramine
Maleate
prevents
histamine
action
by
blocking the binding of H1 receptor –
histamine.
However,
it
does
not
prevent the production of histamines.
This antagonism is competitive and
reversible.
