Rigix Syrup
About Rigix Syrup
Rigix Syrup is an antihistamine medicine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, hives, and skin rashes. It works by blocking histamine H1-receptors, reducing the body’s allergic response. It is valued for its long-acting effect and lower likelihood of causing drowsiness compared to first-generation antihistamines.
