Tavist-D

hypersensitivity reactions, nasal congestion

Clemastine (Tavist-D) is an antihistamine. It blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in the body. Clemastine (Tavist-D) prevents sneezing; itchy, watery eyes and nose; and other symptoms of allergies and hay fever.

Phenylpropanolamine (Tavist-D) is a decongestant. It constricts (shrinks) blood vessels (veins and arteries). This reduces the blood flow to certain areas and allows nasal and respiratory (breathing) passages to open up.

Tavist-D is used to treat nasal congestion and sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) associated with allergies and hay fever.

Phenylpropanolamine (Tavist-D), an ingredient in this product, has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain) in women. Men may also be at risk. Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is low, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that consumers not use any products that contain Phenylpropanolamine (Tavist-D).

Tavist-D may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while taking Tavist-D.

Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. If your symptoms do not improve, or if they worsen, talk to your doctor.

Серьезные побочные эффекты вряд ли произойдут. Прекратите принимать Tavist-D и обратитесь за неотложной медицинской помощью, если у вас аллергическая реакция (затрудненное дыхание; закрытие горла; отек губ, языка или лица; или крапивница).

Другие, менее серьезные побочные эффекты могут иметь больше шансов возникнуть. Продолжайте принимать Tavist-D и поговорите со своим врачом или попробуйте другое подобное лекарство, если вы испытываете

• сухость глаз, носа и рта;

• сонливость или головокружение ;

• помутнение зрения;

• затрудненное мочеиспускание; или

• возбуждение у детей.

Также могут возникнуть побочные эффекты, отличные от перечисленных здесь. Поговорите со своим врачом о любом побочном эффекте, который кажется необычным или особенно неприятным.
