Piriton Allergy Tablets

Piriton Allergy Tablets are a medication used to effectively treat the symptoms of hay fever and other allergic reactions, including those caused by insect bites and stings.

The active ingredient in Piriton Allergy Tablets is chlorphenamine maleate, which is an antihistamine.

Piriton works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance produced by the body during allergic reactions. By blocking histamine, Piriton helps relieve symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes.

Piriton is available in different formulations for children. Always follow the dosing instructions provided on the packaging or by a healthcare provider for children.

The usual recommended dose for adults and children over a certain age is typically one tablet every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Follow the dosing instructions provided on the packaging.

It's important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before taking Piriton with other medications to avoid potential drug interactions.

Common side effects of Piriton may include drowsiness, dizziness, or dry mouth. If you experience severe side effects or have concerns, consult with a healthcare provider.

Piriton can provide relief within 15 to 30 minutes after taking a dose, although the onset of relief may vary from person to person.

Piriton is generally recommended for short-term relief of allergy symptoms. For long-term management, consult with a healthcare provider for alternative treatments or strategies.

Piriton Allergy Tablets are available without a prescription and can be purchased over the counter (OTC) at pharmacies. Always follow the dosing instructions and guidelines on the packaging or consult with a healthcare provider if needed. Please note that while Piriton can be effective in relieving allergy symptoms, it may cause drowsiness in some individuals. It's important to read the product label and consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice and guidance on its use.
