Chlorphenamine maleate is indicated for allergic skin disorders

4.5.
INTERACTION WITH OTHER MEDICINES AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERACTION
Administration of Histafen elixir with other CNS depressants such as
alcohol, barbiturates,
hypnotics, opioid analgesics, sedatives and antipsychotics may enhance
sedation.
Histafen elixir will enhance the antimuscarinic action of atropine,
tricyclic antidepressants and
Monoamine Oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
There is evidence to suggest that antihistamines such as
Chlorphenamine maleate could mask
the warning signs of damage caused by ototoxic medicines such as
aminoglycosides.
Histafen may suppress the cutaneous histamine response to allergen
extracts. Its use should be
stopped several days before skin testing.
