Experiences with

Chlorpheniramine / Phenylephrine

Yet I’ve read that “A few common stimulating over-the-counter medications to watch out for include Actifed chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine, pseudoephedrine, and acetaminophen, chlorpheniramine, and phenylephrine.” Does anyone know of an anti-allergy medication which is safe for those with AF?

I have recently been diagnosed with SVT. As I am having problems sleeping is it safe to take antihistamine containing Cetrizine or chlorphenamine Thanks. Linda

There have long been questions about those with thyroid issues taking phenylephrine, in any form. Including used by ophthalmologists during operations. The latest news suggests not being able to take phenylephrine might not make much, if any, difference! Note: The brand names mentioned might well contain

I have a dreadful cold at the moment. I feel like death describes exactly how I am feeling. I have been offered a hot drink. Max Strength Optipharma. It contains Paracetamol, Phenylephrine and decongestion. Does anyone know if this will interfere with my daily Bisoprolol. Unlike many of you on this

Hi there, I strongly suspect I have a mast cell condition - which has currently flared up at its worst. Background: I was always very healthy, no allergies at all, up until my early twenties when in 2017 I developed a problem with facial swelling and rash. It took about six months to poinpoint the

SInce starting bisoprolol about 6 months ago I've had almost no significant SVT episodes (palpitations). That is until last night and this morning when I've had several lasting 5 minutes or so. It was actually the first time an episode has started during sleep. I've been taking Tesco cold and flu

can anyone tell me if phenylephrine makes rls worse. I know that a lot of the similar sounding ones do. Are they all the same.

I was diagnosed this year with having an underactive thyroid and started on levothyroxine. I read when looking up cold medications that I was supposed to avoid some decongestants and specifically the ingredient phenylephrine which would be active in those. I have just also come down with COVID.

I've looked here and elsewhere in the past but been unclear about what I've read. In the last 24 hours I've developed mild cold symptoms which seem to be getting worse. I need to travel in a couple of days and would find that easier if I was able to control the symptoms a little. I have a small amount

Hi all, after 130 days since my last AF episode (I take 3 x 50mg of Flecanide Acetate daily) I had AF for just over 15 hours. Im fine now. I had started taking a decongestant containing Phenylephrine Hydrochlorate (6.1mg per tablet). I took as directed on the packet for the two days before hand After

Hey everyone, i was put on the brown preventive inhaler last year which worked really well in controlling my breathing problems but this week I'm struggling so badly! I haven't a clue what sets it off, i don't seem to have hayfever symptoms as it's year round symptoms. I got rid of my feather pillows

Does anyone get strange effects from 6 week point after first two infusions? I did get pretty bad hot and cold episodes for a week or so straight after the second infusion. I’ve got intermittent hot all over (no temp) with sweat beading on forehead; intermittent chills; intermittent prickling like needles

Hello! I am back yet again for any advice people might have. I've posted twice in the past, once as I was curious as to whether people thought I might have lupus (ongoing fatigue, headaches, general malaise, ESR floating between 20 - 25, CRP floating between 25 - 35). The second post was because last

This is not a question, please if your thyroid ain't well try as much as you can to avoid any thing that contains. Pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine and ephedra commonly found in nasal decongestants.

Im a bit worried as I have had swimmers ear or ottitis externa for years but has flared really bad and excema in other places but my GP has prescribed me flucloxacillin (antibiotic) and chlorphenamine to clear this all up. I asked was this ok with mtx and he said it should be. Think I shall give my rheumatologist

[i]"There is very little evidence the herbal and vitamin supplements in EASEaCOLD Cold and Flu, Day and Night help to treat the common cold, or the symptoms associated with a cold. Some, such as echinacea and garlic, may help to prevent a cold, or reduce its length or severity if taken prior to the cold

Severe allergy attack a few days ago,treated for anaphylaxis, IV hydrocortisone, oxygen nebuliser, 2 X epipherine, bolus and chlorphenamine. Overnight observation, fit to go next day.

Just had a brief episode of AFIB, I have identified the trigger as liquorice! Had my first few pieces of lovely liquorice for ages last night and almost immediately went into AFIB. I suffered persistant AFIB until flecainide eventually got me back into sinus rhythm over a year ago. Previous episodes

I had my second of the latest duo of Rituximab infusions on Tuesday, three days ago. No reactions at the time at all and nothing to report on the one two weeks ago or indeed any of the others I've had since 2014. Just some increased upper respiratory infections from time to time. I can only think the

Hi does anyone know if you can take Lemsip max containing phenylephrine Hydrochloride with levothyroxine?
