A member asked:
I want to take tri chlor tripolon 4mg tablets but the warning said if you have asthma (which i do) , i should ask a doctor, ? can i take it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can take CTM: The warning should have been removed long ago. The logic behind it was a possible effect on drying of secretions. Actually, chlorpheniramine, which is the generic name of the medication, may have some beneficial effect in asthma, by reducing the harmful effect of histamine.
