Carbinoxamine Maleate
Carbinoxamine is an antihistamine medication used primarily to relieve allergy symptoms. It works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) your body makes during an allergic reaction. This helps relieve symptoms such as runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and rash. Some common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, and constipation, but your doctor will make sure the benefits outweigh these issues.
