Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

The active ingredients work in tandem to alleviate symptoms; Pseudoephedrine HCl narrows the blood vessels in the nasal passages to reduce congestion, while Chlorpheniramine Maleate blocks the action of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. This dual-action approach not only provides relief from discomfort but may also help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and sinuses.

It's important for patients to understand that this formulation should not be used for more than 7 consecutive days, as prolonged use may lead to rebound congestion. Additionally, this formulation may cause drowsiness, so patients should exercise caution when driving or operating machinery. It's also crucial to avoid combining this formulation with other medications that contain pseudoephedrine or chlorpheniramine, as this could potentially increase the risk of side effects.

As with any medication, it's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, don't hesitate to reach out for further information.

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.
