Antihistamine

Does histal pills make you gain weight ? Why do I eat so much from I start taking it and what can I do about the side effect by dry mouth ## Dry mouth can often be remedied by taking frequent small sips of water, and sucking on sugar free candies, according to the NIH. And yes, most antihistamines can cause weight gain, as a side effect, along with dizziness, and drowsiness. Is there anything else I can help with?

My doctor has tried me on two different antihistamines now, Loratadine and Cetirizine. Both give me cramps. I have no deficiencies and am in health good. Any ideas anyone? Many thanks. I am in the UK. ## According to the NIH, they have been known to cause leg cramps as a side effect, in some people that take them. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, drowsiness, and headache. How long did you try each one? Such side effects usually go away, after about 5 to 6 weeks, once your body gets used to a medication. ## I was on Cimetidine for almost two years and Loratidine for three months. Enough time to connect them to leg cramps. The Loratidine also caused me to have very vivid dreams and so I rarely felt refreshed int he mornings! ## I was on Cetirizine about two yea...

Does histal antihistamine syrup work for adenoids? My baby is suffering from adenoids. ## Debbie, As a parent my heart is wrenched to hear about this situation. Watching our children suffer is the worst torture imaginable because all we want to do is help make them better. I will start by clarifying something, adenoids themselves are normal in the human body. They are designed to trap germs that enter through the nose, similar to the way that tonsils trap germs that enter through the mouth. It is not entirely uncommon to have to have adenoid removal surgery. I don't want to assume anything but it seems like the situation you find yourself in is that your baby has something wrong with his/her adenoids blocking the airway. If that is the situation you find yourself in then the NIH doe...

Is this safe? and what might be the reason for it?

Has anyone been or currently prescribed Cetirizine and multiple other allergy-antihistamines at the same time? It helped at first but then I got allergic to 12 other medications in about 1.5 years. Ibuprophen end was the first, then came Dapsone. I was prescribed Cetirizine, Ranitidine, Xolaire, Montelucast, and Diphenhydramine-Benadryl. I now have Montelucast, Doxepin, and Cetirizine added to my allergy list. Can combining Xolair, Ranitidine, and Diphenhydramine cause another allergic reaction or is that just withdrawal or ongoing side effects from stopping cetirizine and doxepin within one week together? Reactions every night now since August 23rd. Sometimes small or just an epi pen or prednisone. Doctor said 'Doxepin is the last and only thing that will help'. I'm allergi...

Seroquel as monotherapy (antihistamine effect ex cetera) Posted a day ago I am 39 years old male. I take every evening one pill of Seroquel XR 300 mg. That is now the dose after calibrating my medicine for years. I got rid of Escitolapram. And the dose of Seroquel XR has come down from 600 mg. First and most interesting question is the following: - I used to get very strong tiredness during some evenings after taking my seroquel 300 mg. Sometimes I thought what I have done wrong. Is it my eating habits. If I eat carbon hydrate dinner and take the pill at the same time almost, will the tiredness come because of that? Still I dont know what is the problem exactly. However, I think one possible explanation could be my allergy medicine. I take Telfast 120 mg (fexofenadine) at the same time whe

Some medication that lists drowsiness as a warning actually keep me awake. Example percocet makes me wired. Will Etodolac act as a stimulant for me? I just got a prescription and I don't want trouble sleeping. ## There's really no foretelling how any medication is going to affect you until you've tried it. Some people get great results with no side effects, while others simply can't make it work for them no matter how many they end up taking. According to MedlinePlus, excessive tiredness and lack of energy are both listed as possible side effects of Etodolac. Whether or not you experience these side effects however, is another story. My suggestion would be to take it early on in the day, so you aren't necessarily burdened with it's effects by the time you want to...

Please would you send me the details on how Urbanol is joined with antihistamines ## Urbanol contains the active ingredient Clobazam, a Benzodiazepine derivative. This is an anticonvulsant, also used to treat some cases of anxiety and depression. The reason it is warned about being used with certain anithistamines is because it can increase the effects of the Urbanol. This can cause more severe side effects and reactions to the drug. To use them together, safely, may require a dosage adjustment of the Urbanol. You can read more here:

I take Xarelto for A-fib, and have a cold with runny nose, nasal congestion and sneezing. What antihistamine can be safely taken for a cold/runny nose/sneezing, while on Xarelto? ## Pure lavender oil can act as a potent antihistamine and is recognized in oil desk references as being generally regarded as safe to use internally. Whenever I had a runny/stuffy nose or sinus infection, it never failed to ward off sneezing and coughing. I also find it beneficial for nasal congestion when I put it on a Q-tip up my nostrils. It really works wonders for me and that's why I wanted to mention it here. Another thing that people swear by are neti pots. I haven't actually used one myself, but I regularly hear brilliant things about how well they work for clearing mucous. On one last note, th...

I have been taking antihistamines for nasal allergies the past 2 years. Is it normal or abnormal to be using them for so long. ## What has your doctor advised on this situation? There is really no cure for allergies, so when people suffer from them, they may require treatment with something regularly to prevent the problems and symptoms that arise from them. ## I have seen numerous doctors . Each time I tell them of my allergy they prescribe some medicine for immediate relief. One doctor increased my dosage. Due to situation I did continue to take the antihistamines on my own to get relief. I want to lnow if antihistamines are bad for in health longer use like 2 to 3 years. ## Can I take MORPHINE SULPHATE ER & Antihistamines together? I broke my back in 2005 & I have been on Mor...

Ebastine

Ebastine is a H1 antihistamine with low potential for causing drowsiness. It does not penetrate the blood–brain barrier to a significant amount and thus combines an effective block of the H1 receptor in peripheral tissue with a low incidence of central side effects, i.e. seldom causing sedation or drowsiness.[1][2][3] It was patented in 1983 by Almirall S.A and came into medical use in 1990.[4] The substance is often provi...
