Cordron NR Usage

  • Take carbinoxamine exactly as prescribed.
  • The dose of carbinoxamine should be individualized based on the severity of the condition and the response of the patient. Start with lower doses and increase as needed and tolerated. 

  • Give carbinoxamine by the orally (by mouth) only. Measure carbinoxamine with an accurate milliliter-measuring device. A household teaspoon is not an accurate measuring device and could lead to overdosage. A pharmacist can provide an appropriate measuring device and can provide instructions for measuring the correct dose.
  • If you miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses of carbinoxamine at the same time.
