Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Chlorphenamine (chlorpheniramine) maleate is a first-generation H-antihistamine that competitively antagonises histamine at H receptors. It reduces capillary permeability, vasodilation, pruritus and allergic inflammatory responses. Owing to its strong CNS penetration, it exhibits sedative, anticholinergic and antiemetic effects. It also shows weak serotonin-reuptake inhibition.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in allergy-modelling studies, histamine-receptor signalling research, antihistamine SAR evaluations, central-sedation pathway analysis, and behavioural pharmacology research. Frequently utilised as a reference sedating antihistamine.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include sedation, cognitive impairment, anticholinergic effects (dry mouth, urinary retention, constipation), tachycardia, dizziness and paradoxical excitation in children. Handle as a CNS-active antihistamine.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
