Solution

I think the concept of histamines is a bit unclear to you . Histamine is a compound which is released by cells in response to injury and in allergic and inflammatory reactions, causing contraction of smooth muscle and dilation of capillaries.

Some common antihistamines include:
  • Allegra (fexofenadine)
  • Astelin and Astepro (azelastine) nasal sprays.
  • Atarax and Vistaril (hydroxyzine)
  • Benadryl (diphenhydramine)
  • Chlor-Trimeton (chlorpheniramine)
  • Clarinex (desloratadine)
  • Claritin and Alavert (loratadine)
  • Cyproheptadine.
