What is the most important information I should know about carbinoxamine?
 |
Do not give this medication to a child younger than 2 years old, even if the medicine label provides dosing intructions for children in this age group. Deaths have been reported in children under 2 years old who had received carbinoxamine, although it has not been determined that carbinoxamine was the cause of these deaths. Talk with your doctor about other FDA-approved products available for use in young children with cold or allergy symptoms. |
 |
Do not use carbinoxamine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take carbinoxamine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body. |
 |
Carbinoxamine can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. |
 |
Avoid drinking alcohol. It can increase some of the side effects of carbinoxamine. |
Call your doctor if you have a fever, or if your symptoms get worse or do not improve after taking this medicine for 7 days.
