About Practin Pearls 4 mg Capsule

Practin Pearls 4 mg Capsule is used to treat symptoms of allergies such as itching, runny nose, sneezing, or watery eyes. Besides this, Practin Pearls 4 mg Capsule is also used to treat certain allergic skin conditions such as urticaria (nettle rash triggered by a reaction to the medicine, food, or other irritants) and angioedema (painless swelling under the skin).
