Mizolastine

Mizolastine is a once-daily, non-sedating antihistamine. It blocks H1 receptors and is commonly fast-acting. It does not prevent the actual release of histamine from mast cells, but prevents it binding to receptors. Side effects can include dry mouth and throat, increased appetite, urinary retention, constipation, and nausea.

Pharmacology

Mizolastine is a histamine H1-receptor antagonist. It does not prevent the actual release of histamine from mast cells, but prevents it binding to its receptors. This in turn prevents the release of other allergy chemicals and increased blood supply to the area, and provides relief from the typical symptoms of hay fever.

Side effects

The most common side effects are headache, dry mouth and throat, increased appetite, urinary retention, constipation, and nausea. Other side effects include abdominal pain, palpitations, dizziness, insomnia, anxiety, confusion, and depression.

Interactions

Mizolastine may interact with other drugs, including some used to treat HIV, fungal infections, and arrhythmia. It is therefore important to tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter and herbal medicines.
