Buy Piriton Allergy Tablets Online

Piriton tablets contain chlorphenamine maleate, which helps treat hay fever, allergies, heat rash, food reactions, insect bites, and skin rashes. These tablets provide fast-acting relief and can be bought from our online allergy clinic.

How Do Piriton Tablets Work?

Chlorphenamine maleate blocks histamine effects in your body. When allergens trigger your immune system, it releases histamine, causing allergy symptoms. Piriton prevents histamine from affecting your cells, reducing symptoms like itching, swelling, and rashes. Relief begins within 30 minutes and lasts 4-6 hours.

Piriton Allergy Tablets Dosage

Take one tablet every 4-6 hours with water, with or without food. If needed, increase to two tablets per dose. Never exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours. For elderly patients, take no more than half a tablet in 24 hours. Never take two doses together.
