What does it do?

Belladonna alkaloids are components derived from plants and are included in antihistamines to suppress excessive secretion from the nasal mucosa. They are primarily used to alleviate respiratory symptoms such as nasal congestion.

This ingredient acts on the secretion glands of the nasal mucosa to reduce mucus secretion and constrict blood vessels, alleviating nasal congestion. This helps to ease breathing.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike other antihistamines, belladonna alkaloids have anticholinergic effects, leading to a stronger suppression of secretion. However, this may lead to side effects such as dry mouth or drowsiness.
