METHDILAZINE belongs to the class of medications called antihistamines and antiallergic agents used to relieve hypersensitivity/allergic reactions and pruritic skin disorders (itching). An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements known as allergens.
METHDILAZINE contains Methdilazine, which works by blocking the action of chemical messengers that cause allergic symptoms. Thus, it helps treat allergic conditions.
In some cases, METHDILAZINE may cause side effects like dry mouth, drowsiness, constipation, headache, and blurred vision. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to consult the doctor if any of the side effects persist or worsen.
Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Drive or operate machinery only if you are alert, as METHDILAZINE may impair your ability to drive. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
