Identification
- Name
- Dexchlorpheniramine
- Accession Number
- DB13679
- Description
Dexchlorpheniramine is a potent S-enantiomer of chlorpheniramine. The salt form dexchlorpheniramine maleate as the active ingredient is available as a prescription drug indicated for adjuctive therapy for allergic and anaphylactic reactions. It is an antihistamine drug with anticholinergic (drying) and sedative actions. It disrupts histamine signalling by competing with histamine for cell receptor sites on effector cells.
