How Bepozal Tablet works
Bepozal Tablet works by blocking a substance called histamine in your body, which is responsible for causing allergy symptoms like itching, redness, sneezing, watery eyes, and swelling. When you come into contact with something you're allergic to (like pollen or dust), your body releases histamine, leading to these uncomfortable reactions. Bepozal Tablet stops histamine from acting on your cells, helping to relieve allergy symptoms and soothe irritation. It’s like putting a shield on your cells to prevent the allergic reaction from happening.
