Trust & Pharmacist Advice Chlorphenamine is a first-generation antihistamine that is effective for a wide range of allergic conditions, including hayfever, urticaria (hives), and reactions to insect bites. It works by blocking histamine, a substance released during allergic reactions. Due to its sedating properties, it may cause drowsiness and can affect concentration and alertness.

This can be helpful for nighttime symptom relief but may not be suitable for daytime use if you need to drive or operate machinery. As pharmacists, we often recommend non-drowsy antihistamines for daytime use, reserving sedating antihistamines like Piriton for nighttime or when sedation is not a concern. Use with caution if taking other medications that can cause drowsiness, including sleep aids, anxiety medications or alcohol.

If symptoms persist or worsen, or if you are unsure whether your symptoms are allergy-related, seek medical advice. Not Suitable For Children under 6 years Individuals with known sensitivity to antihistamines Those taking other sedating medications without advice Patients with certain conditions (e.g. glaucoma, prostate issues) without medical advice How to Use Adults and children over 12 years:Take 1 tablet every 4–6 hours as needed.
