Special patient groups

Elderly patients and patients with significant weight deficit

Usage of the drug requires special care as in these patients antihistamines more often cause side effects (dizziness, somnolence, fall of blood pressure (BP)).

Patients with impaired liver function

Dose reduction may be required due to decreased metabolism of chloropyramine in liver disease

Patients with impaired renal function

The drug regimen may need to be changed and the dose decreased due to the fact that chloropyramine is mainly excreted by the kidneys.
