1. Aminophenol Flavonamins Granules: It is a compound preparation, the main ingredients are acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine maleate, artificial oxalic acid, and the excipient is sucrose. It can relieve fever, nasal congestion, sneezing, stuffy nose and runny nose caused by cold and flu, etc. Chlorpheniramine maleate in it has the effect of anti-allergy.
2. Cetirizine hydrochloride: it is an H1 receptor antagonist, and its main function is anti-allergy, which is used for the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis and allergy-induced itching and urticaria.
Therefore, the difference between these two drugs is that the indications for treatment are different, and in terms of anti-allergic action, the dose of chlorpheniramine maleate in aminophenol xanthanamine granules is relatively small, and can not be used exclusively for the treatment of allergic diseases.
