WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET is a respiratory medication primarily used to treat common cold symptoms and allergies such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal and sinus congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness that affects the nose and throat and is caused by viruses known as 'rhinoviruses'. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth or eyes and spreads quickly through air droplets when a sick person sneezes, coughs or talks.

WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET consists of Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine) and Pseudoephedrine (decongestant). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines or anti-allergic that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps to provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling and congestion or stiffness. On the other hand, Pseudoephedrine belongs to the class of decongestant drugs. Works by narrowing small blood vessels in your nose. This helps mucus and air flow freely in the cavities in your nose (sinuses), helping you breathe more easily. Altogether WIKORYL ND 4MG TABLET relieves the symptoms from common cold symptoms.
