Piriton is an antihistamine (it stops the action of histamine in the body) formulated to relieve common symptoms of allergies, including sneezing, itching, and mild allergic reactions such as hay fever, insect bites, and hives. By blocking the effects of histamine within the body, it is an effective cure for relieving itchiness, sneezing, and so on. Since it is an antihistamine without sleeping pills, this medication is best used for less severe allergies. It is available over the counter in various forms, including tablets and syrups, and in different concentrations for children and adults.

FAQs
How long does Piriton take to work?
Piriton works fast; usually, you don’t have to wait more than half an hour after swallowing for it to come into effect. So, it responds quicker than your average antihistamine. This speed could be the reason why it remains a popular product on the antihistamine market.
Can you take Piriton when pregnant?
Always seek medical advice before taking any medication during pregnancy, including piriton. You need to make sure that you are taking the best course of action for yourself and your baby-to-be. Your doctor will be able to advise you individually and tailor their advice for you and your circumstances.
Does Piriton make you sleepy?
As an antihistamine, Piriton can also make you sleepy—something viewed as a side effect, even though it reflects the very thing that helps it to reduce allergies. Taking Piriton can make you feel tired because it is a sedative. Anyone using such medicine should be careful when doing anything that involves being fully alert, such as driving or operating machinery.
How many Piriton can I take?
It is important to follow the amount that has been directed to you in Piriton; taking more than is suggested can be seriously bad for your health. It's best to try and see a GP or doctor to put your mind at ease before you take more than the recommended amount or just take another Piriton tablet.
Is Piriton an antihistamine?
Definitely, Piriton is an antihistamine drug used to treat the symptoms of allergies, such as rashes and hives, which cause sneezing and itching.
Is Piriteze the same as Piriton?
Piriteze and Piriton both help to reduce allergy symptoms because they are antihistamines. However, Piriteze contains cetirizine as an active ingredient, whereas Piriton contains chlorphenamine. You should not go for one over the other without a doctor's advice, as they may have different effects and may interact with other medicines.
Can you take Fexofenadine with Piriton?
The combination of Fexofenadine and Piriton may increase the risk of adverse effects such as drowsiness, so always consult your GP or pharmacist before use to assess whether or not this medication might be right for you. Pharmacists are able to assess your medical history and advise you on the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
Can you take Piriton with Calpol?
Yes, you can certainly take them together. Piriton is an antihistamine often prescribed for allergies, and Calpol is a painkiller. They work in different ways and can be used safely together if necessary.

Can Piriton help a cough?
Piriton is an antihistamine commonly used to treat symptoms of allergies, including sneezing and itching.
