Main Ingredients: Chlorpheniramine Tannate +Pyrilamine Tannate + Phenylephrine Tannate
R-Tannate is the combination of antihistamine and decongestant (pseudoephedrine) given to treat and relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies, common cold and flu as well as upper respiratory tract.
The antihistamine in R-Tannate relieves the symptoms of seasonal allergies and hay fever such as itchy, runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes as well as symptoms of allergic reactions like hives or swelling. The decongestant (pseudoephedrine) in R-Tannate deals with constricting the blood vessels, which in turn reduces the blood, flow to the nasal passages thereby improving the flow of air and reducing nasal secretions.
CAUTION
Use caution when using R-Tannate if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, prostate problems, or hyperthyroidism as it contains the decongestant pseudoephedrine.
Avoid R-Tannate if you have severe high blood pressure, glaucoma, or kidney disease.
Avoid taking R-Tannate within 2 weeks of using an MAO-inhibitor.
