Homochlorcyclizine
Homochlorcyclizine is a histamine H1 antagonist that is used in the treatment of allergy, hay fever, and common cold. It is a derivative of chlorcyclizine.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Homochlorcyclizine acts as an antihistamine, which means it inhibits the action of histamine in the body. Histamine is a substance that is released by the body in response to an allergic reaction. By blocking the action of histamine, homochlorcyclizine can help to alleviate the symptoms of allergies.
Medical uses[edit | edit source]
Homochlorcyclizine is used in the treatment of various allergic conditions, including hay fever and common cold. It can help to relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
Side effects[edit | edit source]
Like all medicines, homochlorcyclizine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Some of the most common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should consult your doctor.
