What Experts Say

Chlorpheniramine is a first generation antihistamine that blocks H1 receptors throughout the body. This stops histamine from causing the sneezing, itching, watery eyes and runny nose seen in allergic reactions to dust, pollen and other common triggers.

Being a first generation antihistamine, it crosses into the brain and commonly causes drowsiness, which is more noticeable in young children and elderly patients. This sedative effect means the syrup is often given at bedtime when treating nighttime allergy symptoms that disturb sleep.

Dosing is based on the child's age and weight, so caregivers should use the measuring cup provided rather than a regular kitchen spoon. The syrup is not recommended for infants under one year old without a doctor's specific guidance, since younger children are more sensitive to its sedating effect and slower to clear the drug from their system.
