Restamin Kowa Sugar-Coated Tablets 120 Tablets [Class 2 OTC Drug]

Product Information

Allergy medicine

Allergic diseases such as hives and eczema are said to appear as the result of a hypersensitivity reaction (allergic reaction) within the body, depending on the person's constitution and state of health.
When such hives or eczema occur, applying an ointment to the affected area can also be expected to give good results as a treatment that relieves the symptoms, but going one step further, taking an antiallergic medicine that improves the allergic reaction occurring within the body is desirable.
Restamin Kowa Sugar-Coated Tablets treat allergic diseases such as hives and eczema while improving the allergic reaction occurring within the body.
