Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Karbinal ER Work?
Carbinoxamine works by blocking the action of histamine at the H1 receptor sites. This action reduces the symptoms of allergic reactions, including itching, sneezing, and nasal congestion. As a first-generation antihistamine, it may also have sedative effects.
Common Dosages
- Extended-release tablets: Commonly available in 8 mg or 12 mg strengths.
Typical Dosing
- The usual dosage is 1 extended-release tablet taken orally once daily, preferably in the evening, to minimize sedation.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis.
- Management of symptoms of other allergic conditions, such as allergic conjunctivitis.
Who Shouldn't Take Karbinal ER?
- Known hypersensitivity to carbinoxamine or any components of the formulation
- Severe asthma or other lower respiratory conditions
- Glaucoma

Advice From The Pharmacist
- Patients should be advised to take Karbinal ER at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness.
