Indications - Allergic rhinitis, e.g., hay fever - Hives, with itching, redness, and raised welts on the skin, especially when symptoms are chronic How It Works How does the active ingredient in this medicine work? The active ingredient helps with allergies and relieves itching. It suppresses the effects of histamine, a substance produced by the body, in two ways: first, it inhibits the release of histamine from mast cells (specialized immune cells) in the blood and tissues; second, it displaces histamine from its binding sites. As a tissue hormone and a type of chemical messenger, histamine plays an important role in the development of inflammation and allergic reactions.
