Chlor-Trimeton Side Effects, Overdose and Pregnancy Information
Chlor-Trimeton is a decongestant used to give relief from stuffy nose, runny nose, and ear congestion caused by allergies and or the common cold, or infection. Chlor-Trimeton works by stimulating receptors in the body, mostly in the lining of the nose and sinuses, causing the blood vessel to contract. This results in less fluid to pass through into these linings. Chlor-Trimeton helps relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion by reducing the production of mucous. Main ingredient in Chlor-Trimeton is Pseudoephedrine HCl.
