Category: Anti-Allergics

Anti-allergics, also known as antihistamines, are a class of medications used to treat allergies and their symptoms. Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to a normally harmless substance, such as pollen, dust, or certain foods, and produces an allergic reaction. This reaction can cause a variety of symptoms, such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes. Antihistamines work by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical that is released by the immune system during an allergic reaction. By blocking histamine, antihistamines can relieve allergy symptoms and help prevent allergic reactions.
