Common Questions and Answers about Antihistamine and histamine

antihistamine

Avatar n tn Veramystâ„¢ (fluticasone furoate) is a nasal inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and, strictly speaking, not an antihistamine. As an anti-inflammatory medicine, however, has the potential to reduce histamine mediated inflammation, in a non-specific fashion. That it is not an antihistamine is evident by the very many studies of combination therapy, the combination of fluticasone with an histamine 2 (H2) blocker non-sedating antihistamine.
Avatar f tn I am allergic to benadryl (antihistamine) and my condition got way worse when I took it and had allergic reactions. Maybe my body started producing more histamine as a result? I don't know if that helps but it seems it could be related.
Avatar m tn Would anyone know the difference between Piriton and Fexofenadine? Which is stronger?
Avatar f tn Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing. Covering the affected area with bandages and dressings can help protect the skin and prevent scratching. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
338416 tn?1420045702 Since Copaxone is a copolymer, histamine H1-receptor antagonist may not work well. The histamine H2-receptor antagonists, like cimetidine (Tagamet) or ranitidine (Zantac) and famotidine (Pepcid) might actually work better. I know, it sounds goofy, but the histamine response causes the acid pumps in the stomach to turn on. The histamine H2-receptor antagonists are becoming pretty common in the treatment of allergic reactions not controlled by typical antihistamines.
Avatar n tn Maybe a food you are eating etc. I have suffered from palpitations and find that it is due to certain foods that raise my histamine levels. So, I take an antihistamine to knock the levels back down to where my heart stops palpitating.
Avatar f tn I took several showers today and NOTHING is stopping this maddening itching on my feet, legs, torso (front and back) and shoulders.
Avatar n tn When an irritant comes into contact with your body, your immune system sends chemicals, including histamine, to fight it. The sudden spike in histamine levels can cause an outbreak of hives in the upper layers of the skin.
1399363 tn?1462342610 I also saw that Vitamin C is supposed to be a natural antihistamine and then I read elsewhere that it aggravates histamine intolerance. I guess on should maintain Vitamin C levels but avoid citrus fruits and hope for the best. I understand that some supplements are necessary for the production of diamine oxidase.
Avatar m tn Low MG = low histamine. Most Americans are low in Mg. So if you want to up your histamine, thats one way - and a good magnesium supliment is good for the whole digestive tract as well as the gut lineing. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar n tn I have got a problem. My finger and toe tips get very itchy every winter. This happens whenever I get them wet or when it gets extremly cold. What could be the problem? Please help.
1635132 tn?1305063930 Hi, Dramamine or dimenhydrinate is usually indicated for nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness. This antihistamine also treat other motion and balance problems or inner ear problems. If your headache is associated with allergies, this medicine may greatly help stop histamine release. Talk to your doctor about this for proper management. Take care and best regards.
1517808 tn?1290813790 I have the same condition. My general doctor referred me to an allergist/immunologist, and I was told that I have autoimmune urticaria (hives). I was prescribed an antihistamine (Zyrtec), Zantac75 (an antacid that also has "alpha blocker" properties), and Doxepin (an antidepressant that also has "alpha blocker" properties. Over time, I stopped taking the Zyrtec and Zantac. Now I am only taking the Doxepin. This seems to control everything pretty well.
Avatar f tn Then finaly dermatologist suggested that it can be delayed alergy reaction from the bite and I received Antihistamine and corticosteroids shots and everything was gone in 15 minutes... 24 hours after the shots the swellings came back. Antihistamine pills did not help at all. Swelling on feet, and itchy red patches on my palms... struggling with that for 2-3 days i had to get shots so i can get some relief for at least 24 hours... then i went on strict food diet...
Avatar m tn It is caused due to release of histamine and histamine like products in the blood .The causes are infections, medications, bee/wasp stings, food allergies, environmental allergies, stress, cold temperatures etc. Sometimes the causes are idiopathic. The symptoms of STDs include warts, ulcers, yellow or white vaginal/penile discharge, burning with urination, pelvic pain, bleeding between periods, testicular pain and joint pain etc. You do not seem to have any of these symptoms.
Avatar f tn My hives on my legs were so bad that I used finger nail polish on the hives because nothing else worked not even the anti-histamine. So my research came up with natural anti-histamines and water drink plenty of it. Drink two quarts of clean water daily and three quarts during allergy season. Your body releases histamine to stop water loss. If you give your body adequate amounts of water, less histamine will be released.
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor if this could be a histamine response and would anti-histamines and hydrocortisone be helpful?
Avatar m tn 5 inches around injection and itchy! Been itchy ever since swelling started to reduce. Antihistamine helps with the itch. May not want another Tetanus shot after this one. Once the swelling came down I was able to gain more movement of my arm. I have had allergic reactions to wasp stings and it never swelled up like this. Even allergy testing got all red and swollen, but not nearly comparable to the swelling of the Tetanus shot.
Avatar m tn Stage of Research EAE mice treated daily with anti-histamine receptor 1 have decreased disease severity and delayed onset of the disease compared to controls. Also, treatment with antihistamine receptor 1 leads to significant changes in the serum IgG recognition of some healthy brain antigenic targets. Advantage Safe - antihistamines are established drugs with less severe side effects than current MS treatments e.g.
670657 tn?1226721140 Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene . Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin. For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g.
Avatar f tn Hi & Welcome....She's already taking an antihistamine (I would not add more).....Temaril-P is a combination drug consisting of antihistamine & a steriod. What I think she needs is LASIX (For the fluid retention). Normally for heart failure, Lasix are prescribed along with the heart meds. and can be given 1-3 times a day depending on the severity of the congestion. Once, the fluid is off her lungs, the cough and congestion will improve greatly.
Avatar n tn Histamine is an immune chemical but it is also a neurotransmitter and is associated with a more hyped up state. E.g., diphenhydramine is sold as an antihistamine for allergies (Benadryl) but also as a sleeping pill (Sominex). So your enlarged nodes might have a common causation with your anxiety.
1722607 tn?1335747858 It also acts as an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing and runny nose, or hives on the skin. Hydroxyzine is used as a sedative to treat anxiety and tension. It is also used together with other medications given for anesthesia. Hydroxyzine may also be used to control nausea and vomiting. Hydroxyzine is also used to treat allergic skin reactions such as hives or contact dermatitis.
Avatar n tn a glass after. this is supposed to keep cells hydrated and ease histamine and it works for me. gone from 1 - 2 atarax a day to 2 a week...also cut out red meat and processed foods like ham and. soft drinks are bad too.
