chlorpheniramine
Over-the-counter antihistamine
Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms—sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and hives.
It blocks histamine receptors but also causes drowsiness, which led to newer non-sedating alternatives.
Still found in many over-the-counter cold and allergy medications: The nighttime formula contains chlorpheniramine.
