Use with caution in patients with histories of significant allergy or asthma or patients receiving methyldopa or beta adrenergic blockers. Assure an adequate fluid intake.
Occupational Hazards: Patients should be cautioned not to operate vehicles or hazardous machinery until their response to the drug has been determined.
Since the depressant effects oif antihistamines are additive to those of other drugs affecting the CNS, patients should be cautioned against drinking alcoholic beverages or taking hypnotics, sedatives, psychotherapeutic agents or other drugs with CNS depressant effects during antihistaminic therapy.
Use with caution in the presence of hypertension, hyperthyoidism, cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. Use only after careful evaluation in patients with liver or renal damage, urinary obstruction, or blood dyscrasias. In intermittent or prolonged therapy, blood counts and liver and kidney function tests should be performed periodically. Sulfonamide therapy may potentiate the hypoglycemic action of sulfonylureas and induce hemolytic anemia in patients with a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

If any of these reactions occur, the drug should be discontinued.
