This drug should not be used in newborn or premature infants.

Because of the higher risk of antihistamines for infants generally and for newborns and prematures in particular, antihistamine therapy is contraindicated in nursing mothers.

Antihistamines should NOTbe used to treat lower respiratory tract symptoms including asthma.

Antihistamines are also contraindicated in the following conditions:

• Hypersensitivity to dexchlorpheniramine maleate or other antihistamines of similar chemical structure
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitor therapy (See Drug Interactionsection)

Antihistamines should be used with considerable caution in patients with:

• Narrow angle glaucoma
• Stenosing peptic ulcer
• Pyloroduodenal obstruction
• Symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy
• Bladder neck obstruction

In infants and children, especially, antihistamines in overdosagemay cause hallucinations, convulsions, or death.

As in adults, antihistamines may diminish mental alertness in children. In the young child, particularly, they may produce excitation.

Experience with this drug in pregnant women is inadequate to determine whether there exists a potential for harm to the developing fetus.

CORPHENA Oral Solution has additive effects with alcohol and other CNS depressants (hypnotics, sedatives, tranquilizers, etc.).

Patients should be warned about engaging in activities requiring mental alertness such as driving a car or operating appliances, machinery, etc.

Antihistamines are more likely to cause dizziness, sedation, and hypotension in elderly patients.

CORPHENA Oral Solution has an atropine-like action and, therefore, should be used with caution in patients with:

History of bronchial asthma
Increased intraocular pressure Hyperthyroidism
Cardiovascular disease
Hypertension

MAO inhibitors prolong and intensify the anticholinergic (drying) effects of antihistamines.

• Hematologic System:Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis.
• Nervous System:Sedation, sleepiness, dizziness, disturbed coordination, fatigue, confusion, restlessness, excitation, nervousness, tremor, irritability, insomnia, euphoria, paresthesias, blurred vision, diplopia, vertigo, tinnitus, acute labyrinthitis, hysteria, neuritis, convulsions.

Antihistamine overdosage reactions may vary from central nervous system depression to stimulation. Stimulation is particularly likely in children. Atropine-like signs and symptoms—dry mouth, fixed, dilated pupils, flushing, and gastrointestinal symptoms may also occur.

If vomiting has not occurred spontaneouslythe patient should be induced to vomit. This is best done by having the patient drink a glass of water or milk after which the patient should be made to gag. Precautions against aspiration must be taken, especially in infants and children.

Saline cathartics, such as milk of magnesia, draw water into the bowel by osmosis and therefore, are valuable for their action in rapid dilution of bowel content.

Stimulants should not be used.

Vasopressors may be used to treat hypotension.

DOSAGE SHOULD BE INDIVIDUALIZED ACCORDING TO THE NEEDS AND THE RESPONSE OF THE PATIENT.

Adults and Children 12 years of age and older: 2 mg (1 teaspoonful)

Children 6 to 11 years: 1 mg (1/2 teaspoonful)

Children 2 to 5 years: 0.5 mg (1/4 teaspoonful)

Doses are generally given every 4 to 6 hours.
