Tritoqualine

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Tritoqualine is an antihistamine used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. It is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist, which means it works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Tritoqualine 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 and leads to inflammation and other symptoms. By blocking the action of histamine, tritoqualine helps to reduce these symptoms.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Tritoqualine is used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Allergic rhinitis is a condition where the inside of the nose becomes inflamed due to an allergic reaction, causing symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and a blocked or runny nose. Urticaria, also known as hives, is a skin condition characterized by red, itchy bumps on the skin.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all medicines, tritoqualine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Some of the most common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and dry mouth. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Precautions[edit | edit source]

Before taking tritoqualine, you should tell your doctor if you have any other medical conditions or if you are taking any other medicines. It is also important to tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
