DISOPHROL is a combination oral tablet containing dexbrompheniramine maleate (an H1-receptor antagonist antihistamine) and pseudoephedrine sulfate (a sympathomimetic nasal decongestant). It treats nasal congestion, hay fever, and upper respiratory allergies by reducing swelling of nasal passages and shrinking engorged membranes. The drug works by blocking histamine receptors to reduce allergic symptoms while vasoconstricting nasal blood vessels to relieve congestion.
