Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Phenylephrine

Chlorpheniramine Maleate and Phenylephrine is a combination medication used for treating cold and allergy symptoms. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that helps to reduce the effects of the natural chemical histamine in the body. This helps to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose. Phenylephrine, on the other hand, is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages, which helps to relieve stuffiness and congestion.
This medication is commonly used to provide relief from cold and allergy symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, watery eyes, and itching of the nose or throat. It is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and oral solutions. The dosage and duration of the treatment will depend on the severity of the symptoms and the individual’s response to the medication.
As with any medication, follow the prescription and dosage instructions provided by a healthcare professional. Patients should also be aware of the potential side effects, which may include dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea, or headache. Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of high blood pressure, heart disease, or other medical conditions should consult with a healthcare provider before using this medication.
