Semprex-D: Side Effects, Overdose and Pregnancy Information

Semprex-D is the combination of antihistamine (Acrivastine) and decongestant (Pseudoephedrine) given to treat and relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies, common cold and flu as well as upper respiratory tract.

The decongestant (pseudoephedrine) in Semprex-D 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.
