Chericof 5 Mg/2 Mg/10 Mg Syrup is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist belonging to the penethylamine class, which acts as a nasal decongestant. It works by narrowing the swelling of blood vessels in the ear and nose, thereby providing great relief from discomfort. It also contains antihistaminic and nasal congestant drug as its part of composition. The former prevent the allergic symptoms from conditions such as urticaria and rhinitis. This drug binds to the histamine H1 receptor, which prevents the action from endogenous histamine, whereas the latter works by suppressing the nervous system and the part of your brain which is responsible for coughing. It does not really thin the mucus, but certainly provides relief.
