How Safamin works
Safamin is an antiallergic medication. When your body is exposed to an allergen (pollen, animal dander, house dust etc.), it produces a chemical called histamine. This causes watery eyes, runny or blocked nose, sneezing, skin rashes, itching etc. Safamin works by blocking the action of histamine, thereby relieving these symptoms.
