Elina containing the active ingredient mizolastine is considered a non sedating antihistamine type of medication. The medication works by preventing the actions of the natural substance histamine when coming into contact with allergens such as dust, pollen, pet fur or insect bites. It can be used to relieve a variety of symptoms such as rashes, sneezing, watery eyes and runny or blocked nose caused by hay fever, nasal allergies and urticaria.
