@gardeningjunkie is chlorpheniramine malate, cm the actual label name? Do you need a prescription for it or can you get it over the counter?
I am in Canada and I notice certain medications available over the counter in the States or elsewhere do not require a prescription whereas in Canada they do - and vice versa.

@rashida Wish they could all get on the same page.
@rashida talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking chlorpheniramine if you are 65 years of age or older. Older adults should not usually take chlorpheniramine because it is not as safe or effective as other medications that can be used to treat the same condition. I have coronary artery disease, so I really need to be very careful which allergy meds I use--mainly, I take Zyrtec (generic). My dizziness is, I am certain, mainly related to sinus/inner ear issues. Finding a good ENT specialist is difficult--none of them seem to be able to pin-point the problem, even when describing the symptoms so vividly--hearing and age--that's what they blame it on! If it weren't for the darn dizziness, I would still be driving! I am 80, but I still get around pretty much on my own. Guess I am a "dizzy blonde--now gray" ole lady. LOL
@rashida Chlorpheniramine malate is the genric name of an inexpensive over the counter, no prescription needed in the US anti-histamine. I abbreviate it to CM for less typing. I have purchased it the past under the brand name of Chlor-trimaton. I buy generic now, works just as well. Last purchase was through Amazon.
