What is Ryclora?

RyClora is an antihistamine that is used to treat sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes caused by allergies, hay fever, and the common cold.

RyClora may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using RyClora if you have health problems or use other medications, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Do not use cold or allergy medicine to make a child sleepy.

How should I use Ryclora

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor.

Always follow directions on the medicine label about giving cold or allergy medicine to a child. Do not use the medicine only to make a child sleepy. Death can occur from the misuse of cold or allergy medicines in very young children.

Measure liquid medicine carefully. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days, or if you have a fever.

If you need surgery, tell your surgeon if you are currently using RyClora.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze.

  • narrow-angle glaucoma;

  • if you are unable to urinate; or

  • if you are having an asthma attack.

Do not use RyClora if you have used an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue injection, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine, and others.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if this medicine is safe to use if you have:

Ask a doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

This medicine may contain phenylalanine. Check the medication label if you have phenylketonuria (PKU).

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since cold or allergy medicine is used when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. Skip any missed dose if it's almost time for your next dose. Do not use two doses at one time.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

What should I avoid while using Ryclora?

Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how RyClora will affect you. Your reactions could be impaired.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using other cold or allergy medicines that may contain similar ingredients.

Drinking alcohol with this medicine can cause side effects.

Avoid becoming overheated during exercise and in hot weather. You may be more prone to heat stroke while taking an antihistamine.

Ryclora side effects

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

RyClora may cause serious side effects. Stop using RyClora and call your doctor at once if you have:

  • extreme drowsiness;

  • confusion, hallucinations;

  • feeling nervous, restless, or dizzy;

Side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and confusion may be more likely in older adults.

What other drugs will affect Ryclora?

Avoid using this medicine with other drugs that cause drowsiness or slow your breathing (such as opioid medicine, a muscle relaxer, or medicine for anxiety or seizures).
