Chlorohistol injection 10 mg/ml

Chlorohistol injection 10 mg/ml

Uses:

• Injections are indicated in the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis and angioedema as an adjunct to adrenaline (epinephrine) and other standard measures.
• The injection can also be used to relieve allergy symptoms such as acute urticaria, allergic reactions to insect bites and stings, drug and food reactions, seasonal hay fever, vasomotor rhinitis, cough, colds, motion sickness and severe itching of unspecified origin.

How it works:

• Chlorohistol binds to the histamine H1 receptor. This blocks the action of endogenous histamine, which subsequently leads to temporary relief of negative symptoms caused by histamine.

• You should also avoid driving cars or heavy machinery.
