Phenyltoloxamine

Phenyltoloxamine (pronounced: fen-ill-toh-lox-a-meen) is a type of antihistamine that is often used in combination with other medications to provide relief from symptoms of the common cold, allergies, or hay fever.

Etymology

Usage

Phenyltoloxamine is often used in combination with other medications such as acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine to provide relief from symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and pain or fever. It works by reducing the effects of the natural chemical histamine in the body.
