Main Ingredients: Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Pseudoephedrine
Anamine is the combination of antihistamine and decongestant (pseudoephedrine) given to treat and relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies, common cold and flu as well as upper respiratory tract.
The antihistamine in Anamine relieves the symptoms of seasonal allergies and hay fever such as itchy, runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes as well as symptoms of allergic reactions like hives or swelling. The decongestant (pseudoephedrine) in Anamine deals with constricting the blood vessels, which in turn reduces the blood, flow to the nasal passages thereby improving the flow of air and reducing nasal secretions.
Use caution when using Anamine if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, prostate problems, or hyperthyroidism as it contains the decongestant pseudoephedrine.
Avoid Anamine if you have severe high blood pressure, glaucoma, or kidney disease.
Avoid taking Anamine within 2 weeks of using an MAO-inhibitor.
Avoid Anamine if you are allergic or sensitive to it.
May cause drowsiness or low concentration. Use caution when driving or operating machinery.
Common side effects of Anamine may include drowsiness, agitation, anxiety, headache, fatigue, indigestion, and dry mouth.
Rare side effects may include nausea, nervousness, cough, stuffy nose, and throat irritation.
Anamine should not be used within 2 weeks of using an MAO-inhibitor. Check with your physician before combining it with the following:
Beta-blockers
Mecamylamine
Methyldopa
Reserpine
Avoid Anamine if you use a pacemaker and take digoxin.
Combining Anamine with alcohol, tranquilizers, or narcotic analgesics may cause excessive drowsiness and low concentration.
Though generally considered safe, do not take Anamine without the advice of your physician if you are or planning to become pregnant.
Nursing mothers should switch to bottle-feed while taking Anamine as it does pass into breast milk.
Anamine dosages vary for each individual. Consult your physician.
