Ordrine


Generic Name: chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine (klor feh NEER a meen and feh nill proe pa NO la meen)

Brand Names: A.R.M. Allergy Relief, Allerest 12 Hour, Chlornade, Condrin, Contac 12 Hour, Decongex-3, Demazin, Dura-Vent/A, Equi-Nade, Genamin, Gencold, Histade, Or-Phen-Ade, Ordrine, Ornade Spansules, Resaid, Rescon Liquid, Rhinolar-EX, Teldrin, Triac, Triaminic, Vanex Forte-R


What is Ordrine (chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine)?

Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in the body. Chlorpheniramine prevents sneezing; itchy, watery eyes and nose; and other symptoms of allergies and hay fever.


Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant. It constricts (shrinks) blood vessels (veins and arteries). This reduces the blood flow to certain areas and allows nasal passages to open up.


Chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine is used to treat nasal congestion and sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) associated with allergies, hay fever, and the common cold.


Phenylpropanolamine, an ingredient in this product, has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain) in women. Men may also be at risk. Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is low, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that consumers not use any products that contain phenylpropanolamine.


Chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine may cause dizziness or drowsiness. If you experience dizziness or drowsiness, avoid these activities. Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while taking chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine.

Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. If your symptoms do not improve, or if they worsen, talk to your doctor.


Who should not take Ordrine (chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine)?


Do not take chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.

How should I take Ordrine (chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine)?


Take chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine exactly as directed. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.


Take each dose with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the long-acting or sustained-release forms of this medication. Swallow them whole. If you are unsure of the formulation of your medicine, ask your pharmacist for help.

If you cannot swallow the tablets or capsules, look for a liquid form of the medication.


To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the liquid forms of chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.


Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of this medication can cause serious harm.

What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention.

Symptoms of a chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine overdose include a dry mouth, large pupils, flushing, nausea, and vomiting.


What should I avoid while taking Ordrine (chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine)?


Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine may cause dizziness or drowsiness.

Dangerous sedation, dizziness, or drowsiness may occur if chlorpheniramine and phenylpropanolamine is taken with any of these medications.
