Brompheniramine is an antihistamine. Brompheniramine blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in the body.
Brompheniramine is used to sneezing; runny nose; itching, watery eyes; hives; rashes; itching; and other symptoms of allergies and the common cold.
Brompheniramine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Before taking brompheniramine, talk to your doctor if you have
glaucoma or increased pressure in the eye;
a stomach ulcer;
an enlarged prostate, bladder problems or difficulty urinating;
an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism);
hypertension or any type of heart problems; or
asthma.
You may not be able to take brompheniramine, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.
Take brompheniramine exactly as directed on the package or as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
Brompheniramine can be taken with or without food.
To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the liquid form of brompheniramine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take only the next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Symptoms of a brompheniramine overdose may include extreme sleepiness, confusion, weakness, ringing in the ears, blurred vision, large pupils, dry mouth, flushing, fever, shaking, insomnia, hallucinations, and possibly seizures.
Do not take other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, diet, pain, or sleep medications while taking brompheniramine without first talking to your pharmacist or doctor. Other medications may also contain brompheniramine or other similar drugs, and you may accidentally take too much of these medicines.
Brompheniramine may increase the effects of other drugs that cause drowsiness, including antidepressants, alcohol, other antihistamines, pain relievers, anxiety medicines, seizure medicines, and muscle relaxants. Dangerous sedation, dizziness, or drowsiness may occur if brompheniramine is taken with any of these medications.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take brompheniramine and talk to your doctor if you experience
sleepiness, fatigue, or dizziness;
headache;
dry mouth; or
difficulty urinating or an enlarged prostate.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
