Gulfenad

Gulfenad is a medication used to treat symptoms of the common cold, including runny nose, sneezing, and itching of the nose and throat. It is an antihistamine, which works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance produced by the body in response to allergens. Gulfenad is available in various forms, including tablets, syrups, and nasal sprays. It is typically taken orally, with the dosage and duration of treatment depending on the severity of symptoms and the patient's age. Gulfenad is generally well-tolerated, but like all medications, it can cause side effects, such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. It is important to follow the instructions provided by a healthcare professional when using gulfenad. Gulfenad should not be used to treat bacterial infections, such as sinusitis or otitis media, as it will not be effective. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if there are any signs of a severe allergic reaction, medical attention should be sought immediately. Gulfenad is not recommended for use in children under the age of 12 without medical supervision. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
