Pregnancy Category

Name : Not Classified

Description

FDA has not yet classified the drug into a specified pregnancy category.

Mode of Action

Diphenhydramine is a potent antihistamine and antitussive with anticholinergic and sedative properties. Recent experiments have shown that the antitussive action is discrete from H1-receptor blockade and is located in the brain stem. Guaifenesin is reported to reduce the viscosity of tenacious sputum and is used as an expectorant. Levomenthol has mild local anaesthetic and decongestant properties.

Interaction

This product contains diphenhydramine and therefore may potentiate the effects of alcohol, codeine, antihistamines and other CNS depressants. As diphenhydramine possesses some anticholinergic activity, the effects of anticholinergics (e.g. some psychotropic drugs and atropine) may be potentiated by this product. This may result in tachycardia, dry mouth, gastrointestinal disturbances (e.g. colic), urinary retention and headache.
