IDAMAN PHARMA MANUFACTURING ALLERYL TABLET 4MG DESCRIPTION Clean, dry, round, flat, bevel-edged, scored on one side and pink tablet. Each tablet contains Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4mg Source of lactose: Bovine ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION Oral PHARMACODYNAMICS Chlorpheniramine is a potent antihistamine (H1-antagonist). Antihistamines diminish or abolish the actions of histamine in the body by competitive reversible blockade of histamine H1-receptor sites on tissues. Chlorpheniramine also has anticholinergic activity. Antihistamines act to prevent the release of histamine, prostaglandins and leukotrienes and have been shown to prevent the migration of inflammatory mediators. The actions of chlorpheniramine include inhibition of histamine on smooth muscle, capillary permeability and hence reduction of oedema and wheal in hypersensitivity reactions such as allergy and anaphylaxis. PHARMACOKINETICS Chlorpheniramine is well absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract, following oral administration. The effects develop within 30 minutes, are maximal within 1 to 2 hours and last 4 to 6 hours. The plasma half-life has been estimated to be 12 to 15 hours. Chlorpheniramine is metabolised to the monodesmethyl and didesmethyl derivatives. About 22% of an oral dose is excreted unchanged in the urine.
