Directions for Use

Take Sensitamine 4mg Tablet by mouth with a glass of water, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole and do not exceed the dose or frequency stated on the product label or advised by your pharmacist.

This tablet form is generally intended for older children and adults who can safely swallow tablets; younger children needing chlorpheniramine should use a liquid formulation under a pharmacist’s or doctor’s guidance. Elderly users may need a lower dose due to increased sensitivity to sedative and anticholinergic effects.

Relevant Information

Sensitamine 4mg Tablet contains chlorpheniramine maleate, a long-used and widely available antihistamine in Malaysia’s pharmacies. It is generally appropriate for short-term or as-needed allergy relief in adults and older children, but pregnant or breastfeeding women, elderly patients, and those with glaucoma, prostate enlargement, asthma, or liver or kidney conditions should seek pharmacist or doctor advice before use.
