From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Pyrrobutamine is a antihistamine that is used to treat allergic reactions. It is a member of the ethanolamine class of antihistaminergic agents.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Pyrrobutamine is an antihistamine, which means it works by blocking the action of histamine in the body. Histamine is a substance that the body produces when it is exposed to an allergen, and it is responsible for many of the symptoms of an allergic reaction. By blocking the action of histamine, pyrrobutamine can help to relieve these symptoms.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Pyrrobutamine is used to treat a variety of allergic conditions, including hay fever, urticaria (hives), and angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, or tongue). It can also be used to treat the symptoms of the common cold and other upper respiratory tract infections.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all medicines, pyrrobutamine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. These can include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and difficulty urinating. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, or if you notice any other side effects not listed here, you should contact your doctor or pharmacist.
