Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Caffeine (100 mg), Chlorpheniramine Maleate (2 mg), and Scopolamine Hydrobromide (0.2 mg) in an oral capsule form. The solid dosage form, composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells, encloses the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and provides a precise dosage of the active ingredients.

Caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant, is often used to increase alertness and reduce fatigue. It can also enhance the analgesic properties of certain medications, making it a useful component in this formulation.

Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergies, such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms.

Scopolamine Hydrobromide is an anticholinergic agent that is used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness or from anesthesia given during surgery. It works by correcting the imbalance of natural substances (acetylcholine and norepinephrine) that can occur in motion sickness. It also blocks signals to the brain that trigger nausea/vomiting.

This combination of active ingredients can be used to manage symptoms of various disease states. The caffeine component can help to increase alertness and reduce fatigue in conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome or during recovery from surgery. The Chlorpheniramine Maleate can help to manage allergy symptoms, making this formulation useful during allergy season or for individuals with chronic allergies. The Scopolamine Hydrobromide can prevent nausea and vomiting, making this formulation useful for individuals prone to motion sickness or those recovering from surgery.

As with any medication, it is important to take this formulation as directed by your healthcare provider. Side effects can include dry mouth, dizziness, and blurred vision.

Each of these active ingredients has its own mechanism of action and potential for drug interactions. It's important for both patients and prescribers to be aware of these interactions to ensure safe and effective use of this medication.

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It can interact with many medications, including those for depression, asthma, and heart conditions.

These interactions can increase the risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and difficulty urinating. Furthermore, taking Chlorpheniramine Maleate with certain other medications can decrease its effectiveness.

Scopolamine Hydrobromide is an anticholinergic drug used to prevent nausea and vomiting. It can interact with other anticholinergic drugs, certain drugs for Parkinson's disease, and certain drugs for stomach/abdominal conditions. These interactions can increase the risk of side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation. Additionally, taking Scopolamine Hydrobromide with certain other medications can decrease its effectiveness.

It's important to note that this is not a complete list of potential drug interactions. Other medications, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements, can also interact with the active ingredients in this formulation.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The formulation of Caffeine 100 mg/Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2 mg/Scopolamine Hydrobromide 0.2 mg Oral Capsules works by combining the therapeutic effects of three active ingredients: caffeine, chlorpheniramine maleate, and scopolamine hydrobromide. Each of these ingredients plays a unique role in treating various disease states.

Caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant, works by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain. Adenosine is a neurotransmitter that promotes sleep and relaxation, so when caffeine blocks these receptors, it leads to increased alertness and wakefulness. This can be beneficial in conditions where increased alertness is required or in the management of certain types of headache.

Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. When histamine binds to its receptors, it causes symptoms such as itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. By blocking these receptors, Chlorpheniramine Maleate helps to alleviate these symptoms. It is commonly used in the treatment of allergies, hay fever, and the common cold.

Scopolamine Hydrobromide is an anticholinergic agent that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that transmits signals in the nervous system. By blocking the action of acetylcholine, Scopolamine Hydrobromide can reduce symptoms such as motion sickness, nausea, and vomiting. It can also help to reduce secretions in the mouth, throat, and respiratory tract.

The formulation is delivered in a solid dosage form composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and provides a precise dosage of the active ingredients. The capsule form also allows for the active ingredients to be released and absorbed in the body at a controlled rate, ensuring a consistent therapeutic effect.

If you have any questions about this formulation, how it works, or how it can be used to treat specific disease states, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This combination product containing Caffeine, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, and Scopolamine Hydrobromide is primarily designed for relieving a variety of symptoms including allergies, common cold, motion sickness, and to increase mental alertness. However, these oral capsules may have other potential uses.

Chlorpheniramine Maleate, an antihistamine, is often used to provide symptomatic relief of allergic conditions including rhinitis and urticaria. It may also be utilized for its sedative effects in certain scenarios. Caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant, is commonly used to increase wakefulness and mental acuity, which may be helpful for shift workers or those suffering from certain sleep disorders. Additionally, it may be used off-label for headache relief or in conjunction with certain analgesics for enhanced pain relief. Lastly, Scopolamine Hydrobromide is a well-known medication used for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting, as well as motion sickness. It may also be used off-label to manage certain types of gastrointestinal issues such as irritable bowel syndrome, given its ability to reduce stomach acid secretion and slow gut movement.

While this combination product may be helpful for conditions beyond those listed above, it is important to note that the use of multiple medications, even in a single capsule form, typically comes with an increased risk of potential adverse effects and drug interactions. As a result, the medication should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider, and any potential off-label use should be discussed thoroughly with a prescriber first.

Please remember, the given description of uses does not cover all possible uses for this medication combination. Do not attempt to use this medication for a condition not listed without consulting with a healthcare professional first. Remember, every patient is unique and a medication’s effectiveness can vary considerably depending on a multitude of factors. Therefore, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate medication usage for you.
