About Avil Injection

Avil Injection is used to treat allergic reactions. An allergy is a condition in which the immune system reacts abnormally to foreign substances such as pollen, dust mites, mould spores, food, pet dander, insect stings, and medicines/drugs.

Avil Injection contains Pheniramine maleate, which works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger called 'histamine', which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Thus, Avil Injection treats allergic conditions.

In some cases, Avil Injection may cause side effects such as drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, stinging, or burning sensation at the injection site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently. 

Do not take Avil Injection if you are allergic to any of its components, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avil Injection may cause drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery. Avoid consuming alcohol while on treatment with Avil Injection. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
