Chlorpheniramine may enliancIhe sedative effect of central nervous system depressants including alcohol, barbiturates, hypnotic, analgesics,
\1O\ sedatives anà tranquillisers. Care should be taken when taking medicines containing tricycic antidepressants or atropine together. Elderly patients are more susceptible to the central nervous system depressant and lowering of blood pressure effects even at dose quantities effective for treatment.
The warning signs of damage caused by ototoxic medicines may be masked by chlorpheniramine.
Other central nervous system depressants, such as alcohol, barbiturates, hyponotics, narcotic analgesics, sedatives and tranquillisers, if taken together will increase the chance of sedation. Be careful when taking medicines containing tricyclic antidepressants or atropine together. Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride may cause giddiness, headache, nausea, vomiting, sweating, thirst, rapid or irregular heart beat (tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmia), pain in front of the heart (precordial pain,) palpitations, raised blood pressure (hypertension), micturition, difficulty in urination, muscular weakness, tremors, anxiety, restlessness and inability to sleep, fear, confusion, psychotic states, reduced appetite, dyspnoea, sweating, hypersalivation, altered metabolism including disturbance in glucose metabolism. Tolerance with dependence may occur after continued use.
The effects of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride are lessened by medicines containing guanethidine, reserpine, methyldopa and may be diminished or enhanced by tricyclic antidepressants. It may increase the possibility of irregular heart beat in patients taking digitalis. Pseudoephedrmne may increase blood pressure and therefore special care is advisable in patients receiving antihypertensive therapy. Not to be used in children under the age of 6 years.
