Hello,
The effects develop within 30 minutes, are maximal within 1 to 2 hours and last 4 to 6 hours. The plasma half-life has been estimated to be 12 to 15 hours.
You can cope with your side effects as below:
dry mouth - chew sugar-free gum or suck sugar-free sweets.
Stomach problem - it may help if you don't eat rich or spicy food while you're taking piriton.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
