Doxylamine is a first-generation antihistamine. It can be used by itself as a


short-term sedative and in combination with other drugs to provide night-time
allergy and cold relief. Doxylamine is also used in combination with the analgesics
paracetamol (acetaminophen) and codeine as an analgesic/calmative preparation, and
is prescribed in combination with vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) to prevent morning
sickness in pregnant women. Its fetal safety is "A" in Briggs� Reference Guide to
Foetal and Neonatal Risk.[4]

Acrivastine is a medication used for the treatment of allergies and hay fever. It
is a second-generation H1-receptor antagonist antihistamine (like its base molecule
triprolidine) and works by blocking histamine H1 receptors.

Comparisons with other popular antihistamines


Unlike cetirizine or loratadine, for which the standard dose is one tablet per day,
a single acrivastine tablet may be taken up to three times a day.[2] It is not to
be taken by people over the age of 65, pregnant women, or people with compromised
liver or kidney function.

Cetirizine, prominently marketed under the brand name Zyrtec among others, is a
potent second-generation antihistamine used in the treatment of hay fever,
allergies, angioedema, and urticaria.[5] It acts as a selective antagonist of the
histamine H1 receptor.

Second-generation antihistamines like cetirizine are less able to cross the


blood�brain barrier and therefore have diminished effects on the central nervous
system compared to first-generation drugs. As such, they are less likely to cause
drowsiness or memory impairment.

chlorphenamine maleate
Chlorphenamine (also known as chlorpheniramine, CP, or CPM) is a first-generation
antihistamine used in the prevention of the symptoms of allergic conditions such as
rhinitis and urticaria. Its sedative effects are relatively weak compared to other
first-generation antihistamines. Chlorphenamine is one of the most commonly used
antihistamines in small-animal veterinary practice. Although not generally approved
as an antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication, chlorphenamine appears to have
these properties as well.[2][3]

Loratadine
Loratadine, sold under the brand name Claritin among others, is a medication used
to treat allergies.[1] This includes allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and hives.[1] It
is also available in combination with pseudoephedrine, a decongestant, known as
loratadine/pseudoephedrine.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include sleepiness, dry mouth, and headache.[1] Serious side
effects are rare and include allergic reactions, seizures, and liver problems.[2]
Use during pregnancy appears to be safe but has not been well studied.[3] It is not
recommended in children less than two years old.[2] It is in the second-generation
antihistamine family of medication.[1]

Loratadine was discovered in 1981 and came to market in 1993.[4] It is on the World
Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe
medicines needed in a health system.[5] Loratadine is available as a generic
medication.[1] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about 0.01 to 0.06 USD
per dose as of 2015.[6] In the United States it is available over the counter.[1]

Adverse effects
As a "non-sedating" antihistamine, loratadine causes less (but still significant,
in some cases) sedation and psychomotor retardation than the older antihistamines
because it penetrates the blood/brain barrier to a smaller extent.[14]

Other possible side effects include headache and antimuscarinic effects such as
urinary retention, dry mouth, blurred vision, and gastrointestinal problems.[8][11]

Promethazine
Promethazine is a neuroleptic medication and first-generation antihistamine of the
phenothiazine family. The drug has strong sedative and weak antipsychotic effects.
It also reduces motion sickness and has antiemetic (Histamine H1 receptors but it
does not block the production of histamine) and anticholinergic properties. In some
countries it is prescribed for insomnia when benzodiazepines are contraindicated.
It is available in many countries under many brand names.[1][4] Promethazine was
developed in the mid 1940s when a team of scientists from Rh�ne-Poulenc
laboratories were able to synthesize it from phenothiazine.[5]

Hydroxyzine, sold under the brand names Atarax and Vistaril among others, is a
first-generation antihistamine. It was first synthesized by Union Chimique Belge in
1956 and was marketed by Pfizer in the United States later the same year[3] and is
still widely used today.

Because of its antihistamine effects, it can be used for the treatment of severe
cases of itching, hyperalgesia, and motion sickness-induced nausea; it has also
been used in some cases to relieve the effects of opioid withdrawal.[4][5] Even
though it is an effective sedative, hypnotic, and anxiolytic, it shares virtually
none of the abuse, dependence, addiction, and toxicity potential of other drugs
used for the same range of therapeutic reasons. Hydroxyzine has also been used to
potentiate the analgesia of opioids and to alleviate some of their side effects,
such as itching, nausea, and vomiting.

Due to its antagonistic effects on several receptor systems in the brain,


hydroxyzine also has anxiolytic, antiobsessive, and antipsychotic activity.[6]
Today it is used primarily for the symptomatic relief of anxiety and tension
associated with psychoneurosis and as an adjunct in organic disease states in which
anxiety is manifested.

Other drugs related to hydroxyzine are cyclizine, buclizine, and meclizine, and
they share all or most of the benefits, indications, contraindications, cautions,
and side effects of hydroxyzine. The second-generation antihistamine cetirizine is
in fact one of the metabolites of hydroxyzine produced in the human body. Unlike
hydroxyzine, cetirizine is not reported to appreciably cross the blood-brain
barrier, but it has been reported to be associated with dystonic reactions as well
as sedation. Therefore, it has a narrower spectrum of effects, making it an
effective antihistamine but removing some or all of the anxiolytic and other
psychoactive properties, but it may cause dystonic reactions and drowsiness in some
patients.

Hydroxyzine is classified as an antihistamine and anxiolytic and is also used as a


tranquilizer, especially common in dentistry and less so in medicine, where for
many years it has been preferred in combination with opioids due to its ability to
counteract the side effects of opioid pain medications, namely itchiness and
nausea, and the fact that its sedative properties complement the pain-relieving
effects of opioids.[citation needed]

Antihistamines
Main article: Antihistamines
Hydroxyzine (Atarax) is an antihistamine originally approved for clinical use by
the FDA in 1956. In addition to its antihistamine properties hydroxyzine possesses
anxiolytic properties and is approved for the treatment of anxiety and tension. Its
sedative properties are useful as a premedication before anesthesia or to induce
sedation after anesthesia.[12] Hydroxyzine has been shown to be as effective as
benzodiazepines in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, while producing
fewer side-effects.[13]

Chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton)[14] and diphenhydramine (Benadryl) have hypnotic


and sedative effects with mild anxiolytic-like properties (off-label use). These
drugs are approved by the FDA for allergies, rhinitis, and urticaria.

Its use is not recommended in babies.[6] There is no clear risk of harm when used
during pregnancy; however, use during breastfeeding is not recommended.[7] It is a
first generation H1-antihistamine and works by blocking certain effects of
histamine.[6] Diphenhydramine is also an anticholinergic.[8]

Diphenhydramine was first made by George Rieveschl and came into commercial use in
1946.[9][10] It is available as a generic medication.[6] The wholesale price in the
developing world as of 2014 is about US$0.01 per dose.[11] In the United States, it
costs less than US$25 for a typical month�s supply.[12] It is sold under the trade
name Benadryl, among others.[6]

Because of its sedative properties, diphenhydramine is widely used in
nonprescription sleep aids for insomnia. The drug is an ingredient in several
products sold as sleep aids, either alone or in combination with other ingredients
such as acetaminophen (paracetamol). An example of the latter is Tylenol PM.
Diphenhydramine can cause minor psychological dependence.[22] Diphenhydramine can
cause sedation and has also been used as an anxiolytic.[23]
