How Hadrax Syrup 100ml Works
Hadrax Syrup 100ml contains Hydroxyzine (10 mg), which acts on the body as follows:
- Antihistaminic effect: Hydroxyzine blocks histamine activity in your body, reducing symptoms associated with allergies.
- Sedative effect: It suppresses activity in certain parts of the brain, helping to reduce anxiety and cause drowsiness or sleep.
- Anticholinergic effect: Hydroxyzine opposes the effects of acetylcholine, which is a chemical messenger in the body mainly responsible for secretions. This ingredient can result in the drying of secretions, which can help manage certain conditions.
- Serotonin antagonism: By blocking serotonin receptors in your body, hydroxyzine enhances its effect on managing anxiety.
