What is Chlorphenamine?
Active Ingredients: Chlorphenamine Maleate
Chlorphenamine Maleate Tablets are an antihistamine drug used to temporarily relieve symptoms caused by allergic conditions like allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and urticaria (hives). This drug may be combined with other medications to provide relief from the common cold and flu.
This medication may temporarily relieve the symptoms associated with these conditions, but it does not treat or cure the condition. Chlorphenamine maleate is a drowsy antihistamine, though it is less sedating than other antihistamines.
Chlorphenamine is a first-generation alkylamine antihistamine. It works by blocking histamine, the chemical responsible for allergy-related symptoms. The active ingredient also blocks acetylcholine, which relieves symptoms such as a runny nose and watery eyes.
