Chlorpheniramine (Chlortrimeton/Allarest type product) in the UK?
« on: January 23, 2008, 01:07:55 PM »
Does anyone know if you can get this without a prescription in the UK? I'm having terrible post nasal drip at night and read that this antihistamine is ok during pregnancy.

I believe the trade name for it here is piriton and yes, you should be able to get it over the counter.  Let me know how it works as I am in just the same boat as you unfortunately.

Oh thank you! For some reason when I Googled it, I couldn't get any trade names. Probably due to the lack of sleep caused by all this!!

BTW, this seems to be OK by US standards. I haven't seen it on any UK sites but TBH, I'm very close to not caring.
