Pharmacological effects of chlorpheniramine
Chlorpheniramine is an H1 receptor antagonist and its chemical structure belongs to hydrocarbon amines. Mainly it can competitively block histamine H1 receptors on allergic target cells, so that histamine cannot bind to H1 receptors, thereby inhibiting allergic reactions caused by it.
But chlorpheniramine does not affect the metabolism of histamine, nor does it prevent the release of histamine in the body. Chlorpheniramine also has central inhibitory and anticholinergic effects, so after taking the drug, there is a feeling of drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, thickened sputum and dry nasal mucosa.

When children are poisoned, they are mostly centrally excited. When respiratory failure, artificial respiration, oxygen and other supportive therapies can be used, and central stimulants should not be used. When necessary, norepinephrine can be used intravenously to maintain blood pressure, but epinephrine should not be used.
Never use histamine injection as an antidote in rescue
Drug interactions of chlorpheniramine
1. With alcohol and other central nervous system inhibitors, it can increase the central nervous system inhibitory effect of antihistamines, but the interaction of new antihistamines is weak.
2. With other anticholinergic drugs, it can strengthen the anticholinergic effect of this class of drugs.
3. When some antihistamines metabolized by the liver are used in combination with liver drug enzyme inhibitors, adverse reactions may increase.
4. Some antihistamines may mask the toxic symptoms of certain ototoxic drugs, such as aminoglycoside antibiotics.
5. Antihistamines can inhibit the skin test reaction of allergenic substances.
6. The combination of this product and phenytoin may inhibit its liver metabolism and increase its toxicity. Pay attention to monitoring the concentration of phenytoin.
7. It can enhance the effects of amantadine, anticholinergics, haloperidol, phenothiazines and sympathomimetic drugs.
8. Drinking alcohol or taking central nervous system inhibitors at the same time can enhance the efficacy of this product.
