What Are the Uses of Chlorpheniramine Maleate, and How Effective Is It? - #15246
I was recently given Chlorpheniramine Maleate for seasonal allergies, but I don’t fully understand how it works. From what I read, it’s an antihistamine, but what conditions does it actually treat? I know it’s commonly used for runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes, but does Chlorpheniramine Maleate also help with cough, skin allergies, or insect bites? How does it compare to other antihistamines like Cetirizine or Loratadine? I also read that Chlorpheniramine Maleate can cause drowsiness. Is this a significant side effect, and does it mean I should avoid driving or working while taking it? Are there any Ayurvedic remedies that work as natural alternatives to Chlorpheniramine Maleate? I’ve heard that Tulsi, Giloy, and Licorice are good for allergy relief—do they actually help? If anyone has taken Chlorpheniramine Maleate, did it help with your symptoms, and did you experience any side effects?
