What Experts Say

Pheniramine blocks histamine receptors, which quickly reduces itching, swelling and allergic skin reactions.

The injection is used in hospital or clinic settings when fast relief is needed, or when a patient cannot take medicine by mouth.

It can cause drowsiness, so patients should not drive or operate machinery until they know how it affects them.
