ALLERGEX CAFFEINE contains chlorphenoxamine hydrochloride which possesses a potent long-lasting antihistaminic action and is well tolerated.
In addition chlorphenoxamine hydrochloride has anticholinergic and sedative effects. The anticholinergic properties of chlorphenoxamine hydrochloride are useful in treating allergic conditions associated with undesirable cholinergic activity.
Caffeine has a central stimulant action and counteracts the sedative effect of chlorphenoxamine hydrochloride which may lead to weariness in the susceptible patient.
