The Antiallergic drugs or a single one Antiallergic are helpful medicinal substances that have become indispensable equipment for many people under certain conditions. The selection of products within the antiallergics has become quite extensive over time.
What are antiallergic drugs?
Behind the substances that are in Antiallergic drugs contain active ingredients that are used against allergic reactions. The modern antiallergic drugs can eliminate complaints that are triggered by an overreaction of the organism to a so-called allergen.
The different antiallergic drugs are therefore only responsible for reducing the symptoms and symptoms associated with an allergy. Under these circumstances, antiallergic drugs are often vital for sick people. Due to the effects that can be achieved with natural and purely plant-based antiallergic drugs, these are just as relevant as the artificially produced pharmaceutical-chemical products.
In addition, the antiallergics are divided into different classes, each of which is based on a special mechanism of action and a varying form of application (application).
Medical application, effect & use
The effect of the Antiallergic drugs essentially depends on their ingredients. Basically, all antiallergic drugs inhibit the allergic symptoms by blocking the function of the mast cells and thus reducing the production of histamine. These antiallergics belong to the group of so-called mast cell stabilizers.
An only one-sided effect is achieved by the antiallergics in the versions as antihistamines. These drugs only reduce the release of histamine. Cortisone also has antiallergic effects and is used in antiallergic drugs. Other antiallergic drugs, which mainly come from the homeopathic and purely herbal treatment circle, are used as active ingredients that influence several symptoms at the same time and have fewer or no side effects.
The areas of application of antiallergic drugs mainly relate to allergic processes that occur due to a hypersensitivity reaction of the organism to a certain trigger, the allergen, and can even be associated with shortness of breath. The antiallergic drugs are therefore mainly used for skin irritations such as eczema and an existing inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eyes as well as for asthma and hay fever. People who suffer from acute inflammatory swellings, redness and pain in the skin and mucous membranes due to an allergen also use the antiallergic drugs.
Depending on the results of the diagnosis and the symptoms that arise, various types of antiallergic drugs are prescribed. This helps to ensure targeted application and to keep side effects as low as possible.
Herbal, natural & pharmaceutical antiallergic agents
The advances that have been made in the past few years in pharmacy and naturopathy have made many more highly effective Antiallergic drugs with which the treatment of allergic diseases could be decisively optimized.
In order to normalize the effects of histamine in the organism, medicinal substances are processed which, like the histamine H1 receptors, act directly on the histamine. In addition, among the antiallergic drugs there are the leukotriene receptor blockers and the [[glucocorticoids or the so-called alpha sympathomimetics. Another group of antiallergic agents includes mast cell stabilizers.
Herbal products, which are used as eye or nose drops for hay fever, are gentle antiallergic drugs that are less noticeable due to side effects. Some ointments that are to be applied externally to the skin also contain antiallergic agents based on plants. These drugs can be used for hives, allergic contact dermatitis and anaphyxia as well as conjunctivitis caused by allergens.
Classic medicinal plants in this context are butterbur and black cumin. Combinations of oil from the eucalyptus tree with camphor and oil from pine needles are also popular. In addition to these, the purely chemical antiallergics can also be considered.
Risks & side effects
Among the quite common side effects of the synthetically produced Antiallergic drugs in part include persistent tiredness, eye discomfort and nausea. For example, if cortisone injections are used in acute hay fever, side effects such as dizziness and headaches, temporary vomiting and insomnia occur.
Long-term use of cortisone leads to changes in the blood count, the so-called full moon face and other side effects. Patients who have been treated with antihistamines usually complain of occasional shortness of breath, hair loss and irregularities in the heart rhythm. In addition to these abnormalities, nosebleeds and runny nose can occur as side effects.
