Recently, I saw a patient whose child was on the antihistamine, carbinoxamine. Alarm bells went off!

Carbinoxamine is known to have adverse side effects, and even to cause deaths in children under two years of age. You won’t find this information on the Carbinoxamine.com home page, but it is mentioned in page 2. They also inform you that the only drug with carbinoxamine that is now approved by the FDA is Palgic.

Drugs.com also warns against carbinoxamine. They write:

“Do not give this medication to a child younger than 2 years old, even if the medicine label provides dosing instructions for children in this age group. Deaths have been reported in children under 2 years old…..

“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….

These warning still apply to the FDA-approved carbinoxamine drug, Palgic. You should also avoid this antihistamine if you have intestinal or prostate troubles, a stomach ulcer, heart disease, high blood pressure, overactive thyroid or asthma.

You are the only one who can protect yourself and your family from harmful drugs. Before you accept fill any prescription or buy any drug, do your research. Check several sites, not just one. And don’t rely on government to ensure medications are safe. This drug has been on the market since the early 1950’s. It took the FDA over half a century to finally check it out and take action!

Better yet, break free of allergy drugs and antihistamines altogether. Get your allergies treated naturally. To find out how, check out ‘Health Programs’ at www.renewyoujourney.com.au
