brompheniramine, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine


Generic Name: brompheniramine, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine (BROM fen IR a meen, DYE fen HYE dra meen, FEN il EFF rin)

Brand Names: Ala-Hist D


What is brompheniramine, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine?

Brompheniramine and diphenhydramine are antihistamines that reduce the effects of the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.


Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).


The combination of brompheniramine, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.


Brompheniramine, diphenhydramine, and phenylephrine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
