Frequently asked questions

What does Chlor-Trimeton treat?

Chlor-Trimeton (Chlorpheniramine Maleate) may be used to treat perennial allergic rhinitis, urticaria, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How does Chlor-Trimeton work?

Chlor-Trimeton is a histamine-1 receptor antagonist. H1 antihistamines work by blocking histamine, the chemical released during an allergic reaction, from attaching to H1 receptors. This prevents the sneezing, itching, runny nose, watery eyes, and hives that histamine would otherwise trigger.
