What Experts Say

Pediatricians and general physicians in Pakistan continue to use chlorpheniramine syrups because they act quickly on sneezing, runny nose and itching, and they remain an affordable first choice for common seasonal allergies, particularly during the dusty and pollen heavy months seen across much of Pakistan.

Doctors do point out that being a first generation antihistamine, it causes more drowsiness than newer allergy medicines, so it is often given at night or when the child or adult can rest afterward rather than before school, driving or work.

Parents are usually advised to follow the age appropriate dose on the label carefully, since young children are more sensitive to antihistamine side effects, and to check with a doctor before giving it to infants under two years. Giving the syrup around bedtime often works well, since drowsiness is less likely to interfere with school, work or daily activities the next morning.
