please help. my 5 month old baby was found to have chlorpheniramine in her blood and urine. Never has she been given anything that contains this. I am now being accused of deliberately administering it to her. Are there any drugs that would give the positives readings as she has been very sick and prescribed many other drugs. ## Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine and isn't something that's included on most lab work. Are you sure that's what they said turned up? It's typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, are usually nothing more than dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth. What medications has she been on? Can you please post back with more information? The details might enable me to help you more.

Has Walgreens generic version of Chlorpheniramine (Walfinate) always been 4 mg or was there an extended release version at one point? If there was an extended release generic Walgreen's version, when was it officially discontinued? Was Wal-Finate available in the 80s or was it called something else? Thanks.
