• Read the Label: Always follow the instructions provided on the label or as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
• Correct Dosage: Take Chlor-mal with the appropriate dosage. If it’s a liquid, use a measuring cup for accurate dosing.
• Take with Water: Swallow the tablets with a full glass of water. If using the liquid form, drink it directly from the measuring cup provided.
• Avoid Overuse: Do not take more than the recommended dose to prevent side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, or increased heart rate.
• Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at once.

The two active ingredients in Chlor-mal work in tandem to relieve cold and allergy symptoms:

• Chlorpheniramine (Antihistamine): By blocking histamine receptors, Chlorpheniramine prevents the effects of histamine, which is responsible for causing symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes in allergic reactions. It also helps with watery eyes and itching.
• Pseudoephedrine (Decongestant): Pseudoephedrine works by constricting the blood vessels in the nasal passages, which reduces swelling and congestion. This helps clear the nasal passages and makes it easier to breathe.

Together, these ingredients provide effective relief from symptoms of congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes caused by allergies or colds.

As with any medication, Chlor-mal can cause side effects. Common side effects may include:

• Drowsiness: Chlorpheniramine is known to cause drowsiness or sedation. It may impair your ability to perform tasks that require alertness, such as driving or operating machinery.
• Dry Mouth: An anticholinergic effect of Chlorpheniramine can cause dry mouth.
• Dizziness: Pseudoephedrine may cause dizziness, especially when standing up quickly.
• Nausea or Upset Stomach: Some users may experience mild stomach discomfort, nausea, or constipation.
• Increased Heart Rate: Due to the decongestant action of Pseudoephedrine, it can cause increased heart rate or blood pressure.

If you experience more severe side effects, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or confusion, seek immediate medical attention.

• Heart Conditions: People with heart problems, high blood pressure, or any cardiovascular conditions should use this medication with caution, as Pseudoephedrine can increase blood pressure and heart rate.
• Elderly People: Older adults may be more sensitive to the sedative effects of Chlorpheniramine, so it’s important to monitor them closely for drowsiness and confusion.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using Chlor-mal.
• Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can intensify the sedative effects of Chlorpheniramine and increase the risk of drowsiness, dizziness, or impaired coordination.

• Antihistamines and Alcohol: Combining Chlorpheniramine with alcohol or other sedatives can enhance sedative effects and lead to excessive drowsiness.
• Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs): When Pseudoephedrine is taken with MAOIs, a class of drugs used to treat depression, severe interactions can occur, including elevated blood pressure.
• Blood Pressure Medications: Pseudoephedrine can elevate blood pressure, so caution is advised if you are taking medications to control hypertension.

Always consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before using this medication, especially if you are on other medications or have existing health conditions.

• Adults and Children over 12 years: Take 1 tablet every 4-6 hours as needed, but do not exceed 4 tablets within 24 hours.
• Children 6-12 years: Take half a tablet every 4-6 hours as needed, but do not exceed 2 tablets within 24 hours.
• Children under 6 years: Typically not recommended unless prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Always follow the prescribed dosage and consult your doctor if you are unsure about the correct usage for your age group.

Chlor-mal is usually available over-the-counter (OTC) without a prescription, but the availability may vary depending on your region. In some areas, Pseudoephedrine, due to its potential misuse for illegal activities, is subject to regulation, and you may need to request it from a pharmacist.

If you have any concerns regarding the prescription requirements, or if your symptoms persist or worsen, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for further guidance or an alternative prescription medication.
