Is Brompheniramine-Pseudoephedrine-DM The Right Medicine For Syncope?

My 18 daughter has neurocardiogenic syncope. She visited the health center at her university today and they prescribed her BROMPHENIRAMINE-PSEUDOEPHED-DM. They were aware of her condition when they prescribed this. Is this a safe product for her to use?

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Neurocardiogenic syncope is commonly referred to as FAINTING or vasovagal syncope. If the cause of your daughter's fainting spells are related to sudden or unexpected swings of emotion or from some other factor of surprise she is exposed then, taking brompheniramine products shouldn't cause major problems. If she is not merely fainting from some sort of emotional stress or highly fragile state of mind, etc. then, she needs to be thoroughly checked over by both a neurologist and cardiologist and I would probably withhold BROMPHENIRAMINE-pseudoephed COMPOUNDS since they can make symptoms of ORTHOSTASIS (significant drops in blood pressure) worse.
