Chloramax 5mg Tablet is a medication containing Chlorpheniramine Maleate as its active ingredient. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is a first-generation antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Histamine is released when your body is exposed to an allergen, leading to symptoms such as itching, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and hives. By inhibiting histamine, Chloramax 5mg Tablet effectively alleviates these discomforts associated with allergic reactions.
This medication is commonly prescribed for the symptomatic relief of various allergic conditions, including allergic rhinitis (hay fever), urticaria (hives), allergic conjunctivitis, and other allergic skin reactions. It can also be used to help manage symptoms of the common cold, such as sneezing and runny nose, when these are accompanied by allergic components.
The typical dosage for adults and children over 12 years of age is one 5mg tablet taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
