This formulation is specifically engineered to gradually release the active ingredient, chlorpheniramine maleate, over an extended period of time, ensuring a sustained therapeutic effect.

These capsules are formulated with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Chlorpheniramine Maleate 12 mg Slow Release Capsules are a potent formulation designed to alleviate symptoms associated with allergies, hay fever, and the common cold. The active ingredient, chlorpheniramine maleate, is a powerful antihistamine that functions by inhibiting the action of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. The unique slow-release formulation of these capsules, made possible by the use of Methocel E4M, a controlled-release polymer, ensures a gradual and consistent release of the medication over an extended period. This slow-release mechanism offers sustained therapeutic effects, thereby reducing the frequency of dosing and enhancing patient compliance, particularly for medications that necessitate a controlled and prolonged release profile.

The recommended dosage for adults and children over 12 years of age is one capsule every 12 hours. For children under 12 years of age, the appropriate dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
