Chlorphenamine (INN) or chlorpheniramine (USAN, former BAN), commonly marketed in the form of chlorphenamine maleate (Chlorphen-12, Chlor-Trimeton), is a first-generation alkylamine antihistamine used in the prevention of the symptoms of allergic conditions such as rhinitis and urticaria. Its sedative effects are relatively weak compared to other first-generation antihistamines. Chlorphenamine is one of the most commonly used antihistamines in small-animal veterinary practice as well. Although not generally approved as an antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication, chlorphenamine appears to have these properties as well (see below).
