How to take clemastine

• Read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside your pack for more information about clemastine tablets and side effects.

• Take clemastine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist tells you to. The usual recommended doses are:

  • للبالغين: 1 (1 mg) tablet twice daily, taken morning and evening.

  • For children aged 6-12 years: ½-1 tablet twice daily, taken morning and evening.

  • For children aged 3-6 years: ½ tablet twice daily, taken morning and evening.

• You can take clemastine before or after meals. Some people find it helps to swallow the tablets with a drink of water.

• إذا نسيت تناول جرعة، لا تقلق، فقط تناول الجرعة التالية عند موعدها ثم استمر كما كنت من قبل. لا تأخذ جرعتين معًا لتعويض الجرعة المنسية.

• Most people only need to take an antihistamine for a short while when they have symptoms. You should stop taking clemastine once your symptoms have eased.

تحقيق أقصى استفادة من علاجك

• Clemastine may cause drowsiness. If this happens to you, do not drive and do not use tools or machines. Alcohol will make the drowsiness worse, so it is best not to drink alcohol while you are on clemastine.

• If you are having an operation or any treatment (particularly if it is to test for an allergy), tell the person carrying out the treatment that you are taking an antihistamine.

• Clemastine may cause some people's skin to become more sensitive to sunlight than normal. Use a sunscreen that protects against UVA light and has a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15, especially in strong sunlight or until you know how your skin reacts. Do not use sunbeds.

• If you buy any medicines, check with a pharmacist that they are safe to take with an antihistamine. This is because a number of other medicines can interfere with the way clemastine works and can increase the risk of side effects.

How to store clemastine

• احفظ جميع الأدوية بعيدًا عن متناول ورؤية الأطفال.

• احفظه في مكان بارد وجاف، بعيدًا عن الحرارة المباشرة والضوء.
