H1-type antihistamines have recently been reported to inhibit cytokine secretion from human and murine mast cells and basophils. (citationimpact.com)
Antihistamines, such as Benadryl, work by blocking histamine activity and so halting the allergic reaction. (hempforhounds.org)
Antihistamines, such as Benadryl, cause the body to create histamines, but they are inhibited from reaching cell receptors, preventing allergy symptoms. (hempforhounds.org)
An important point to remember is that while histamine does not cross the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB), H1 antihistamines do cross , including the ones designed not to cross. (epiphanyasd.com)
Consequently, unlike the H 1 antagonist antihistamines which are sedating, H 3 antagonists have stimulant and nootropic effects, and are being researched as potential drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and also for ADHD. (epiphanyasd.com)
Most attention in this blog has been directed to the effect of H1 antihistamines outside the brain/CNS. (epiphanyasd.com)
To a greater or lesser extent, all H1 antihistamines are also mast cell stabilizers. (epiphanyasd.com)
Antihistamines are a class of drugs that are primarily used to treat the allergy symptoms of some environmental stimuli like dust, pollen, pet dander, or mold. (trueyouweightloss.com)
Both prescription and over-the-counter antihistamines are designed, as the name implies, to counter the effect of histamines and the exaggerated immune response. (trueyouweightloss.com)
There are two major subtypes of antihistamines that are based on the type of cell receptor they interact with: H1 receptor antagonists and H2 receptor antagonists. (trueyouweightloss.com)
Since antihistamines block histamines from entering our cells, it's possible that long-term use could lead to overeating and eventual weight gain. (trueyouweightloss.com)

Benadryl is a brand name for the drug diphenhydramine, which belongs to a class of drugs called first-generation H1 histamine receptor antagonists that are commonly used as over-the-counter sleep aids and allergy medications in humans and animals alike. (hempforhounds.org)
It means that while Benadryl is a quick solution to treat allergy symptoms, it doesn't address your pet's immune system reaction or the allergens that cause it. (hempforhounds.org)
Histamine causes vessels to swell and dilate, leading to allergy symptoms. (appyuntamiento.es)
H1 receptors modulate circadian rhythm (sleep) as well as all those allergy and asthma symptoms. (epiphanyasd.com)
They reduce the release of histamine itself, as well as blocking H1 receptors (and so relieving allergy symptoms). (epiphanyasd.com)
When a person with an allergy is exposed to a particular allergen, compounds called histamines are released from mast cells around the body and trigger various biological responses like the dilation of blood vessels, the contraction of smooth muscle in the lungs, acceleration of heart rate, or inflammation in affected tissues.

Symptoms7
HISTAKIND M 10/120MG TABLET reduces the unpleasant symptoms of allergic rhinitis, where fexofenadine acts by antagonizing the effects of histamine (a substance that cause allergic reaction) on the surface of cells and montelukast acts by blocking the leukotriene receptor, thus leading to a relaxation in smooth muscle, which in turn decreases swelling and inflammation in the airways. (netmeds.com)
In almost all cases, however, some pharmacotherapy is needed because the patient is either unwilling or unable to avoid allergens and to control the occasional exacerbations of symptoms. (medscape.com)
Because the nose is the most common port of entry for allergens, in patients with allergies, signs and symptoms of allergic rhinitis, not surprisingly, are the most common complaints. (medscape.com)

Mast3
In order to confirm and expand these studies, we have compared several H1-blockers and the H2-blocker ranitidine for their effect on TNF-α, IL-3, 6, 8 and GM-CSF release from human leukemic mast (HMC-1) and basophilic (KU812) cells, compared to dexamethasone. (citationimpact.com)
Allergen-specific IgE molecules then bind to the surface of mast cells, sensitizing them. (medscape.com)
It works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. (drugsformulations.com)
Blockers3
The first subtype is called H-1 receptor antagonists or H-1 blockers. (knowyourallergy.net)
H1 blockers are mainly used for the treatment of environmental allergies, while H2 blockers are used for the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions like GERD and peptic ulcers. (trueyouweightloss.com)
H1 blockers can be further divided by when they were developed. (trueyouweightloss.com)
Antihistamine3
The naming structure tells doctors and scientists the cell type the location of the histamine receptor that the antihistamine medication blocks. (knowyourallergy.net)
So one H1 antihistamine will be more sedating, or more appetite-increasing than another one. (epiphanyasd.com)
For example, a 2010 study at Yale University used data from the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to look at the association of prescription h1 antihistamine use with incidence of obesity. (trueyouweightloss.com)

Immunotherapy2
Allergen-specific immunotherapy is an alternative form of therapy that has several advantages. (medscape.com)
Allergen-specific immunotherapy must be customized to the patient's individual allergies and involves weekly injections of increasing concentrations of an allergen until the maintenance dose is reached and a monthly injection of the maintenance dose for several years. (medscape.com)
