CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Brompheniramine maleate is a histamine antagonist, specifically an
H1-receptor-blocking agent
belonging to the alkylamine class of antihistamines. Antihistamines
appear to compete with histamine for
receptor sites on effector cells. Brompheniramine also has
anticholinergic (drying) and sedative
effects. Among the antihistaminic effects, it antagonizes the allergic
response (vasodilation, increased
vascular permeability, increased mucus secretion) of nasal tissue.
Brompheniramine is well absorbed
