pharmachologic effect

Blocker of histamine H1 receptors. Prevents the development and facilitates the course of allergic reactions. It has antiallergic, antiexudative and antipruritic effect, preventing the development of allergic inflammation in the tissue. Weakens the effect of histamine, reduces its effect on vascular permeability (reducing permeability, has a decongestant effect), reduces its bronchospastic effect and spasmogenic effect on intestinal smooth muscles, weakens the hypotensive effect of histamine. Chifenadine reduces the content of histamine in tissues (associated with the ability to activate diamine oxidase - an enzyme that inactivates histamine). During the course of treatment, the antihistamine effect of hifenadine does not decrease. It has a moderate antiserotonin effect, shows a weak m-anticholinergic activity. Does not have a depressing effect on the central nervous system.
