Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Chlorpheniramine is a first-generation antihistamine. Histamines are chemical messengers present in blood that are indicated in allergic responses. Chlorpheniramine blocks Histamine receptors. Phenylephrine is an alpha-receptor agonist. It produces effects like constriction of blood vessels, which produces decongestant effects. It helps relieve stuffiness and nasal blockage.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Concomitant use with hypnotics and anti-anxiety medicines can cause an increase in sedation.
  • Concomitant use with alcohol and other CNS depressants can worsen neurological side effects.
  • Chlorpheniramine decreases the metabolism of phenytoin and can result in phenytoin toxicity.

Interactions with food items
