Triprolidine is a first-generation antihistamine used to treat symptoms of the common cold and allergies. It is often used in combination with other medications to provide relief from sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and other symptoms. Triprolidine is available in both over-the-counter and prescription forms. It is also used to treat hay fever, hives, and other allergic reactions. Triprolidine works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. It is thought to reduce inflammation and swelling, as well as reduce the production of mucus. It is also thought to reduce the activity of the immune system, which can help reduce the severity of cold and allergy symptoms. Triprolidine is generally considered safe and effective when used as directed. However, it can cause side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness. It is important to follow the instructions on the label and speak to a doctor if any side effects occur. Some companies that produce triprolidine include GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, and Merck.
