Indications :
Triprolidine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical
histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing,
itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in
the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal
congestion (stuffy nose).
The combination of triprolidine and pseudoephedrine is used to
treat sneezing, cough, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes,
hives, skin rash, itching, and other symptoms of allergies and the
common cold. Triprolidine and pseudoephedrine may also be used for
other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
miss a dose :
Since cold or allergy medicine is usually taken only as needed,
you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the
medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you
remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed
dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time.
Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
