Antihistamine Medicines

Antihistamine medicines are commonly used to alleviate symptoms associated with allergic reactions. These medications work by blocking the effects of histamines, chemicals in the body that are released during an allergic response. As a result, antihistamines are effective in treating conditions such as hay fever, allergic rhinitis, hives, and certain types of itching and skin rashes. They can also be used to help relieve cold symptoms and manage motion sickness. Antihistamines come in various forms, including tablets, capsules, liquids, and nasal sprays, and can be found in both over-the-counter and prescription options.
