Quá liều
Symptoms: Sedation, paradoxical excitation of the CNS, toxic psychosis, apnoea, convulsions, anticholinergic effects, dystonic reactions, CV collapse (e.g. arrhythmias). Management: Symptomatic and supportive treatment. Gastric lavage or induced emesis using syrup of ipecacuanha may be considered. Activated charcoal can be given if overdosage is by the oral route, provided there are no contraindications for use and the overdose is recent (within 1 hour of ingestion). CNS convulsions may be treated with IV diazepam. Hypotension and arrhythmias should be treated vigorously. For severe cases, haemoperfusion may be used.

Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Chlorphenamine, an alkylamine derivative, is a sedating antihistamine that competitively and reversibly inhibits histamine H1- receptor in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract and blood vessels. This prevents the release of histamine, prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and also prevents the migration of inflammatory mediators. Synonym: Chlorpheniramine. Onset: Within 30 minutes. Duration: 4-6 hours. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability: 25-50%. Time to peak plasma concentration: 2.5-6 hours. Distribution: Widely distributed in the body, including the CNS. Enters breast milk. Volume of distribution: 6-12 L/kg. Plasma protein binding: Approx 70%. Metabolism: Extensively metabolised in the liver by CYP enzymes, including CYP2D6 to active and inactive metabolites, including desmethyl- and didesmethylchlorphenamine; undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism. Excretion: Mainly via urine (approx 22%, as unchanged drug); faeces (trace amounts). Elimination half-life: 2-43 hours.
