Triprolidine, sold under the brand name Zymine among others, is a medication used to treat allergies and the symptoms of the common cold.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1] Use is not recommended in children less than 2 years old.[1]

Common side effects include sleepiness, dry mouth, nausea, dizziness, blurry vision, and urinary retention.[1] Safety in pregnancy is unclear; though use during breastfeeding appears okay.[2] Other side effects may include low blood pressure.[1] It is a first generation antihistamine.[1]

Triprolidine was patented in 1948 and came into medical use in 1953.[3] It is available as a generic medication and over the counter.[4][5] In the United States 30 ml costs less around 20 USD.[4] It may be sold together with other agents such as pseudoephedrine.[1]
