Triprolidine is an over-the-counter antihistamine with anticholinergic properties.[1] It is used to combat the symptoms associated with allergies and is sometimes combined with other cold medications designed to provide general relief for flu-like symptoms.[2] As with many antihistamines, the most common side effect is drowsiness.[1]

Today, Triprolidine is not very much used anymore, and was mostly replaced by other, more popular antihistamines like Diphenhydramine, Promethazine, Chlorpheniramine, as well as second generation antihistamines like Loratadine and Fexofenadine.

It was patented in 1948 and came into medical use in 1953.[3]
