Does this medication help relieve fluid in ears? Can it be used nightly for 1-2 weeks to help eliminate fluid in the ears of a 55 lb, 5-1/2 yr old? ## The active ingredients listed (Brompheniramine and Pseudoephedrine) are found in a number of medications. One brand is Bromfed-DM syrup (NDC 54868-6377) which also contains Dextromethorphan. It's a combination cough suppressant, antihistamine, and decongestant for treating symptoms of the common cold, flu, & allergies. In reading the product label (PDF) for Children's Dimetapp Cold & Allergy (which contains Phenylephrine instead of Pseudoephedrine), it says that it is not indicated for children under 6 years of age. It sounds like your son is pretty close to the minimum age. What I'd recommend is getting it cleared by ...

My son is 9 yrs old and weighs 89 lbs. How much Brompheniramine-DM should I administer and how often can I give it to him? ## What is Brompheniramine-Pseudoephedrine-DM syrup used for? I cannot remember why it was prescribed and my daughter has phlegm and is congested. ## Is this a prescription or over the counter syrup that you have? The active ingredients listed (Brompheniramine and Pseudoephedrine) are found in a lot of OTC and RX medications. Because of that the dosing instructions will vary based on the specific brand and there should be something listed on the bottle.

I have to take generic wellbutrin (bupropion sr 150 2x daily) Now can only get from CVS or Walgreens. I am allergic to brompheniramine maleate (dimatapp) and am trying to figure out how bupropion interacts with it. I previously got pills from another phanrmacy (which I can't anymore). The pills from there were white coated. These are the green with the u12. These seem to not work like the white ones. Wondering about my allergy to brompheniramine maleate causing the problem and what to do about it. ## Brompheniramine and Buproprion are in two completely different medication classes, so they are unrelated and one would not be causing you to have a problem with the other. Learn more Brompheniramine details here. Learn more Buproprion details here. What type of problem are you having? I...

My son is 2 years and six months. His Dr prescribed him Bromphenir pseudoephed today and my husband accidentally gave him 3 times the indicated dosage. Is this an emergency? What should we do? Thanks! ## It is very important that you read the leaflet included with the prescription. Watch for signs of overdose or side effects. Call the pharmacy and explain what happened. If they are closed then call the pediatrician's office - they almost all have an after hours answering service for situations like this. The doctor or nurse should be able to tell you what to watch for. There's also poison control at 800-222-1222. This is from DailyMed's listing on Bromfed DM (same ingredients as what your son was prescribed along with Dextromethorphan): "Central nervous system effects fr...
