SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Chlorphenamine 10mg/ml Solution for injection 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each 1ml of solution contains 10mg of chlorphenamine maleate. Excipient with known effect: Each 1 ml of solution contains 0.13mmol (3.1mg) of sodium. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Solution for injection Clear, colourless sterile solution for injection. The pH of the solution is 4.0 – 5.2 and the osmolality is 261 – 319 mOsm/Kg. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Chlorphenamine injection is indicated for acute urticaria, control of allergic reactions to insect bites and stings, angioneurotic oedema, drug and serum reactions, desensitisation reactions, hayfever, vasomotor rhinitis, severe pruritus of non-specific origin. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Adults: The usual dose of chlorphenamine injection for adults is 10mg to 20mg, but not more than 40mg should be given within a 24-hour period. The injection may be given by the subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous route. When a rapid effect is desired, as in anaphylactic reactions, the intravenous route is recommended in addition to emergency therapy with adrenaline (epinephrine), corticosteroids, oxygen and supportive therapy as required. In this case chlorphenamine injection should be injected slowly over a period of one minute, using the smallest adequate syringe. Any drowsiness, giddiness or hypotension which may follow is usually transitory. In the event of a blood transfusion reaction, a dose of 10mg to 20mg of chlorphenamine injection should be given by the subcutaneous route. This can be repeated to a total of 40mg within a 24-hour period, or oral forms of chlorphenamine may be given until the symptoms subside. Chlorphenamine injection may be helpful in the prevention of delayed reactions to penicillin and other drugs when given separately by intramuscular injection immediately prior to administration of the other drug.
