Hi

Chlorpheneramine maleate is a sedative antihistamine.This component of wikoryl can cause dizziness or drowsiness.

Since you have some relief of your symptoms,you can take the drug at night alone which will reduce these symptoms.

Phenylephrine can cause dizziness and also difficulty in breathing.In the following days you can take paracetamol and Chlorpheneramine maleate seperately and avoid phenylephrine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
