Itramin tosilate

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Itramin tosilate is a pharmaceutical drug used in the treatment of various medical conditions. It belongs to the class of medications known as antihistamines, which are primarily used to treat symptoms of allergies and the common cold.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Itramin tosilate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Histamine is released by the body during an allergic reaction, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. By blocking the effects of histamine, Itramin tosilate can help to alleviate these symptoms.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Itramin tosilate is used to treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • Allergic rhinitis: This is an allergic reaction that causes symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and a runny or stuffy nose. Itramin tosilate can help to alleviate these symptoms.
  • Urticaria: Also known as hives, this is a skin condition characterized by red, itchy welts. Itramin tosilate can help to reduce the itching and inflammation associated with urticaria.
  • Common cold: While it cannot cure the common cold, Itramin tosilate can help to alleviate some of the symptoms, such as runny nose and sneezing.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all medications, Itramin tosilate can cause side effects. These may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and constipation. If these side effects persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention.

Precautions[edit | edit source]

Before using Itramin tosilate, it is important to inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems.
