Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Pseudoephedrine HCl 60 mg/Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a highly effective treatment for a range of allergic and respiratory conditions. It is particularly beneficial for those suffering from Allergic Rhinitis, Sinusitis, the Common Cold, Nasal Congestion, and Hay Fever. The combination of Pseudoephedrine HCl and Chlorpheniramine Maleate in this formulation works synergistically to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and nasal congestion.

Pseudoephedrine HCl is a potent decongestant that works by reducing swelling in the nasal passages, thereby facilitating easier breathing. Chlorpheniramine Maleate, on the other hand, is an effective antihistamine that helps to mitigate the body's allergic response, providing relief from uncomfortable symptoms. This formulation is encapsulated in two gelatin or vegetarian shells, which not only make it easy to swallow but also ensure a precise dosage of the active ingredients.

Importantly, this formulation is gluten-free, making it a safe and effective treatment option for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Pseudoephedrine HCl 60 mg/Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4 mg Capsules (Gluten Free) is a highly effective treatment for Allergic Rhinitis, Sinusitis, Common Cold, Nasal Congestion, and Hay Fever. The active ingredients work in tandem to alleviate symptoms; Pseudoephedrine HCl narrows the blood vessels in the nasal passages to reduce congestion, while Chlorpheniramine Maleate blocks the action of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. This dual-action approach not only provides relief from discomfort but may also help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and sinuses.

It's important for patients to understand that this formulation should not be used for more than 7 consecutive days, as prolonged use may lead to rebound congestion. Additionally, this formulation may cause drowsiness, so patients should exercise caution when driving or operating machinery. It's also crucial to avoid combining this formulation with other medications that contain pseudoephedrine or chlorpheniramine, as this could potentially increase the risk of side effects.

As with any medication, it's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, don't hesitate to reach out for further information.
