How to Administer Chlorphenamine Injection

Chlorphenamine Injection 10mg/ml should be administered by a doctor or another trained healthcare professional. It may be given under the skin, into a muscle, or slowly into a vein, depending on clinical requirements.

For adults, the usual dose is 10mg to 20mg, with a maximum of 40mg in 24 hours. For children aged 1 month to 18 years, the dose is based on age or body weight and should be determined by a healthcare professional. In some cases, the solution may be diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride to allow smaller doses to be measured and administered accurately.

When given intravenously, the injection should be administered slowly over one minute. This helps reduce the risk of side effects such as low blood pressure or dizziness.
