Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine medication approved for treating allergies, the common cold, and hives. It works by blocking H1 receptors and acetylcholine receptors, actions that can help treat or prevent allergy symptoms and relieve a runny nose. Although chlorpheniramine is found in many different prescription drugs and over-the-counter products, only a few basic forms of the medication are available: immediate-release tablets, extended-release capsules or tablets, and liquids.
