What Experts Say

Chlorpheniramine maleate is a first generation antihistamine. It blocks histamine H1 receptors throughout the body, which stops the sneezing, nasal itching and watery eye discharge that histamine release triggers during an allergic reaction to pollen, dust or other common environmental triggers.

Because it crosses freely into the brain, it also produces a sedating effect, which is why this older class of antihistamine still works reliably for nighttime allergy relief even though newer, less sedating options are now generally preferred for daytime use in most treatment guidelines.

Pharmacologists point out that its anticholinergic action explains side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision and drowsiness, and that this same property is why it needs cautious use in people with narrow angle glaucoma, an enlarged prostate or a breathing condition such as asthma or COPD, since it can thicken airway secretions.

• Do not take more than six tablets in twenty four hours unless your doctor says otherwise

Drug Interactions

Bariton Tablet 4mg can interact with several other medicines, so tell your doctor about everything you are taking.

• Alcohol: Combining with alcohol increases drowsiness and slows reaction time further
• Sedatives and sleep medicines: Taking these together adds to sedation and can impair alertness significantly
• MAO inhibitors: Should not be combined, since these can intensify and prolong the anticholinergic effects of chlorpheniramine
• Other anticholinergic drugs: Combining raises the risk of dry mouth, constipation and urinary retention

Risks and warnings

• Drowsiness: This tablet commonly causes sedation, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you
• Elderly caution: Older adults are more sensitive to its sedating and confusion causing effects and face a higher fall risk
• Glaucoma: Avoid use if you have narrow angle glaucoma, since it can raise eye pressure
• Prostate conditions: Use cautiously if you have an enlarged prostate, as it can worsen urinary retention
• Breathing conditions: Use carefully in asthma or COPD, since it can thicken airway secretions
• Children: Not recommended for children under six years without a doctor's advice
