Durahist D contains a combination of dexchlorpheniramine, methscopolamine, and pseudoephedrine.

Dexchlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Methscopolamine reduces secretion of fluids in the body that cause sneezing, runny nose, and postnasal drip. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

Durahist D is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Durahist D may also be used for purposes not listed here.
