And the maximum effect on such manifestations of skin allergies as rash and hyperemia is observed one and a half to two hours after the start of treatment. On the manifestations of an allergic rhinitis, Semprex exerts an effect an hour after the start of the capsules.

The antihistamine effect persists for another twelve hours, gradually diminishing its activity.
