CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE is a respiratory medication primarily used to treat common cold symptoms and allergies such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal and sinus congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness that affects the nose and throat and is caused by viruses known as 'rhinoviruses'. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth or eyes and spreads quickly through air droplets when a sick person sneezes, coughs or talks.
CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE consists of Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine) and Pseudoephedrine (decongestant). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines or anti-allergic that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps to provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling and congestion or stiffness. On the other hand, Pseudoephedrine belongs to the class of decongestant drugs. Works by narrowing small blood vessels in your nose. This helps mucus and air flow freely in the cavities in your nose (sinuses), helping you breathe more easily. Altogether CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE relieves the symptoms from common cold symptoms.
CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE is available in the form of oral syrup and tablets. Take CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE with or without food as advised by your doctor with the help of a measuring cup. Your doctor will recommend how often you take CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE based on your medical condition. Do not stop taking CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE on your own until the doctor advises you. Some people may experience dry mouth, throat or nose, drowsiness, constipation, dizziness, blurred vision, restlessness or excitation. Most of these side effects of CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE. CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE is not recommended for children below four years of age. If you are about to undergo medical tests or surgery, please inform your doctor that you are taking CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE. Avoid using CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE if you have taken medicines such as linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, rasagiline, isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine and methylene blue injection in the past 14 days. Drink plenty of fluids while taking CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE to loosen mucus. If you have glaucoma, urinary problems, enlarged prostate, phenylketonuria (a congenital disability that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), cough with mucus or cough caused by asthma, smoking, chronic bronchitis or emphysema (a lung condition causing shortness of breath). Avoid alcohol while taking CHLORPHENIRAMINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE, since it can worsen the side effects like dizziness and sleepiness.
