Medrylamine

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellnesspedia

Medrylamine is an antihistamine that is used in the treatment of allergic conditions. It is a member of the ethanolamine class of antihistaminic agents.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Medrylamine works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. It is a H1 antagonist, which means it blocks the H1 receptor on cells that respond to histamine.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Medrylamine is used to relieve symptoms of allergy, including rhinitis, urticaria, and pruritus. It can also be used to treat motion sickness, as it has antiemetic properties.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like other antihistamines, medrylamine can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and blurred vision. Other side effects can include dry mouth, constipation, and difficulty urinating.

Contraindications[edit | edit source]

Medrylamine should not be used in people with glaucoma, severe hypertension, or severe coronary artery disease. It should also be avoided in people who are allergic to it or to other antihistamines.
