Question 1

phenylephrine hcl
chlorphenamine maleate
paracetamo

Accepted Answer

Yes: Phenylephrine HCl, Chlorphenamine Maleate  and Paracetamol won't decrease the effectiveness of your birth control pills.  Best wishes!

Question 2

i regularly take a four-hour antihistamine, chlorpheniramine maleate, because it seems to help with digestion. are there any issues with extended use?

Accepted Answer

Yes: First is tolerance, meaning that you would have to increase the dose  to get the same effect. Second, side effects are more prone to appear with extended use, and some are serious, hence the need for medical supervision. Third, it isn&#x27;t meant to help digestion, if you have a problem with digestion / indigestion and not resolved , you need to see your doctor. Good luck

Question 3

can i take chlorpheniramine maleate  and cetirizine dihydrochloride (piriton) at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: They are both antihistamines but the chlorpheniramine  is a broad spectrum sedating one and cetirizine is a narrow non-sedating one.  They are meant to do the same thing but depends on why you are taking it.

Question 4

can you take aspirin with the anti-histamine chlorpheniramine maleate?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These two drugs have no cross over and will neither enhance or interfere with each others activity.  They are both over the counter, inexpensive and surprisingly effective.

Question 5

i got my period &at the same time i got the flu &i started to take 1000 mg paracetamol, 60 mg pseudoephedrine, 4 mg chlorpheniramine maleate 3 times for 5 days so far. does these medications interfere with weight loss and can it cause more bloating?

Accepted Answer

May be: These medications are not likely to change the course of your "flu" and have side effects. Your weight loss is more dependent on your food intake and exercise or the lack of it., but not on the medications you mentioned.

Question 6

i can't find any information on the medication chlorpheniramine maleate 4mg on here, any information?

Accepted Answer

Antihistamine: Chlorpheniramine is a first generation antihistamine. It has been around for a long time and is available in a lot of over the counter medications. While effective for mild allergies it can cause drowsiness in many people. Second generation antihistamines such as Claritin (loratadine) or Allegra (fexofenadine) are often a better choice as they are non-sedating.

Question 7

difference between chlorpheniramine maleate and pheniramine maleate?

Accepted Answer

Drug: They are both antihistamine drugs and behave similarly. The chlor form has and additional chloride moiety.

Question 8

chlorpheniramine maleate or allegra (fexofenadine) which is safer?

Accepted Answer

Both: Antihistamines are extremely safe. Any antihistamine can cause drowsiness, but second-generation antihistamines are much less likely to do so. Drowsiness with chlorpheniramine is the biggest side effect to watch for, between these two meds.

Question 9

what happened to the allergy medicine 12 hour chlortrimeton, or any chlorpheniramine maleate 12 hour version? i'm asking in 2022?

Accepted Answer

: It is a decades old popular antihistamine. I can find vendors for it on eBay and other online sources but some say it is out of stock due to high demand. Its use and value has been supplanted by other readily available antihistamines with fewer side effects.

Question 10

can taking the otc chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine) make you sweaty?

Accepted Answer

Possible, unlikely: It can cause you to be sweaty, but this would be unlikely.
