Common Uses

PERIACTIN is used to relieve the symptoms of allergy; such as hayfever, runny nose, sneezing, and itchy and watery eyes.
It also relieves the itchiness associated with some skin problems; such as rash, hives, dermatitis, eczema, mild reactions to insect bites, and chickenpox.
PERIACTIN is also used to treat migraines and other similar headaches in people whose symptoms have not been relieved by other medicines.
Migraine is an intense, throbbing headache, often affecting one side of the head. It often includes nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, and sensitivity to sound.
PERIACTIN works by blocking the action of histamine and other substances produced by the body, which are causing your allergy or itchiness.
