Moxastine (also known as mephenhydramine) is an antihistamine and anticholinergic.[1]

It was developed in Czechoslovakia[2] and sold in hydrochloride form as an antihistamine (Alfadryl).

It is, with 8-chlorotheophylline, a component of cocrystal/salt moxastine teoclate (mephenhydrinate) used as antiemetic (Theadryl; Kinedryl (with caffeine)).
