What are the uses of chlorpheniramine maleate syrup and how does it help with allergies? - #16664
I’ve recently been struggling with seasonal allergies, especially in the spring when pollen levels are high. I’ve been using over-the-counter medications to manage my symptoms, and the doctor recommended chlorpheniramine maleate syrup to help reduce my allergy symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes. I know that chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine, but I’m not entirely sure how it works or if there are any side effects I should be concerned about. From what I’ve read, chlorpheniramine maleate blocks the effects of histamine in the body, which is responsible for many of the allergy symptoms we experience, such as swelling and irritation. While the syrup helps, I’ve also noticed that it makes me feel a bit drowsy and dry-mouthed, so I’m wondering if this is a common side effect. Are there any natural alternatives to chlorpheniramine maleate syrup that can help relieve allergy symptoms without causing side effects like drowsiness? I’ve heard that Ayurveda offers remedies for managing allergies and improving immune system function. Does Ayurveda have any herbs or treatments that can reduce allergic reactions and support respiratory health? If anyone has used Ayurvedic remedies for seasonal allergies or histamine issues, I’d love to hear what worked for you and if you found a natural alternative to antihistamines like chlorpheniramine maleate.
