Dr. Yvette Kratzberg answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

No, don't use pills : Allergex (Chlorpheniramine maleate) is available in pills (4mg) and in a non drowsy formulation containing Loratadine 10mg in pills, 5mg per 5ml liquid. The tablets should be used in adults only since they pose a choking hazard. They should not be crushed or cut. the liquid can be used in children as young as 2 yrs old.
