Dynapharm Dexchloramine 2mg Tablet

Dynapharm Dexchloramine 2mg Tablet contains dexchlorpheniramine maleate, an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, hay fever, hives (urticaria), and other itchy skin reactions. It helps to ease sneezing, a runny or itchy nose, watery eyes, and generalised itching caused by allergies.

Dynapharm Dexchloramine 2mg Tablet is available over the counter in Malaysia and can be purchased through DoctorOnCall without a prescription, as confirmed via the site’s own product information. It is intended for short-term symptomatic relief; consult a doctor if symptoms are severe or persistent.

Dexchlorpheniramine is the dextro-isomer of chlorpheniramine and works as an H1-receptor antagonist, blocking the action of histamine released during allergic reactions. This reduces sneezing, itching, and nasal discharge, and it is generally considered somewhat more potent than standard chlorpheniramine at an equivalent dose.

Take Dynapharm Dexchloramine 2mg Tablet orally with or without food, swallowing the tablet whole with a glass of water. Follow the age-appropriate dose and frequency stated on the product label, and do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

The usual dose for adults and children over 12 years is 2mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed, up to a maximum of around 12mg per day. Children aged 6 to 12 years typically take a lower dose as stated on the label, and use in children under 6 years should only be under medical or pharmacist guidance.

Dynapharm Dexchloramine 2mg Tablet is generally stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Check the expiry date on the blister strip or carton before use.

Dexchlorpheniramine is an older-generation antihistamine that tends to cause more sedation than newer non-drowsy antihistamines, so it should be used with caution in the elderly and those who need to remain alert during the day. It is generally intended for short-term relief of allergy symptoms rather than long-term daily use.
