| Calimal Antihistamine Tablets (797 words) |
| Chlorphenamine acts by blocking the binding of histamine to receptors in the body and so preventiing or relieving the typical symptoms of an allergic reaction. |
| Chlorphenamine tablets or syrup are useful for both the prevention or relief of localised or less serious allergies such as hay fever or itchy rash and some more serious allergic reactions such as angioneurotic oedema. |
| Chlorphenamine is called a sedating antihistamine as it enters the brain in significant quantities and is therefore more likely to cause drowsiness than the newer group of non-sedating antihistamines. |
