Use of other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medications, including those obtained without a prescription.

A special type of antidepressants known as monoamine-oxidase inhibitors prolong and intensify the effect of antihistamines, potentially causing severe hypotension, i.e., severe drops in blood pressure.

The simultaneous use of antihistamines with alcohol, tricyclic antidepressants, barbiturates or other medications acting on the central nervous system may potentiate the sedative effect of dexclorfeniramina.

Medications in the Polaramine group (antihistamines) may decrease the action of oral anticoagulants, so you should consult with your doctor before using Polaramine.

Interaction with laboratory tests

The treatment with Polaramine should be suspended at least 48 hours before performing any skin allergy test, as medications in the Polaramine group (antihistamines) may mask the results of these tests.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication.

Polaramine should not be administered during the third trimester of pregnancy due to the fact that the newborn and premature children may have severe and severe reactions to antihistamines.

During the first two trimesters of pregnancy, Polaramine will only be used if your doctor considers it necessary.

The elimination of Polaramine by human milk is unknown, so you should consult with your doctor if you are breastfeeding.
