How does it work?
It blocks histamine, a chemical involved in allergic symptoms and itching. It also acts on the brain to produce a calming and sedating effect.

Drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, headache and constipation may occur.

Precautions
Avoid alcohol and take care with other medicines that cause drowsiness, including sleeping tablets, sedatives and some pain medicines. Seek medical advice before use if there is a history of heart rhythm problems, glaucoma, difficulty passing urine, liver or kidney disease. Older adults may be more sensitive to its sedating effects.
