Description
Piriton 4 mg Tablets contain chlorphenamine maleate 4 mg, an antihistamine that blocks histamine to relieve symptoms of allergic reactions.
Piriton can be used for hay fever and seasonal allergies, allergic rhinitis, urticaria (hives), food and drug allergies, insect bites and stings, skin allergies and itching. It can also provide symptomatic relief from the itchy rash associated with chickenpox.
Chlorphenamine is a sedating antihistamine, so it can cause sleepiness and reduced alertness. This makes it important to take care when driving, operating machinery or using other medicines that cause drowsiness.
