Dexchlormine 2mg Tablet

Dexchlormine 2mg Tablet contains Dexchlorpheniramine Maleate 2mg, an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergic conditions such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, hives, and itching caused by allergic rhinitis, insect bites, or other hypersensitivity reactions. Dexchlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance the body releases during an allergic reaction, thereby reducing swelling, itching, and other allergy symptoms.

On DoctorOnCall Malaysia, Dexchlormine 2mg Tablet is currently classified and dispensed as a prescription medicine, so a valid prescription or an online consultation with a doctor through DoctorOnCall is required before this product can be supplied. Customers should not assume this product is freely available over the counter and should confirm suitability with a doctor or pharmacist first.

Dexchlorpheniramine Maleate is a sedating first-generation antihistamine that selectively blocks H1 histamine receptors in the body. By preventing histamine from binding to these receptors, it reduces the dilation of blood vessels and the leakage of fluid into surrounding tissue that cause allergy symptoms such as swelling, redness, itching, and watery discharge from the eyes and nose.

Dexchlormine 2mg Tablet should only be taken according to the dose and duration advised by a doctor or pharmacist following a prescription or online consultation. The tablet is usually taken orally with a glass of water, with or without food, and should not be crushed or chewed unless instructed. Do not increase the dose or frequency of use beyond what has been prescribed.

Dosage of Dexchlormine 2mg Tablet must be determined by the prescribing doctor based on the patient’s age, condition being treated, and response to treatment. Adults are typically guided to take one tablet at a time as directed, while use in children and elderly patients requires closer medical supervision due to increased sensitivity to sedating antihistamines. Patients should never adjust their own dose without consulting their doctor.
