Tavegyl Formulation and Composition:

Tavegyl is formulated as tablets and each tablet contains 1 mg of clemastine. Additional ingredients include lactose monohydrate, povidone, corn starch, magnesium stearate, and talc.

Pharmacological Action:

Tavegyl acts as an allergy drug and functions as a blocker of histamine H1-receptors. It belongs to a group of antihistamines known as benzhydryl esters. By selectively inhibiting histamine H1-receptors, Tavegyl reduces capillary permeability, providing anti-allergic and anti-itching effects. This medication offers a quick onset of action and long-lasting relief.

The antihistaminic activity of Tavegyl reaches its peak approximately 5-7 hours after administration and can persist for up to 10-12 hours, and in some cases, even up to 24 hours.
