Piriton 4mg tablets are commonly used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes. They typically contain chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine, a substance involved in allergic reactions.
Precautions include avoiding use if you have severe liver conditions, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding without consulting your healthcare provider. Be cautious when using with other medications that cause drowsiness or interact with chlorpheniramine.
Take Piriton 4mg tablets as directed by your healthcare provider, generally every 4-6 hours as needed. Follow the prescribed dosage and do not exceed the recommended amount.
Possible side effects may include drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, or gastrointestinal discomfort. If you experience severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
