Every day, technology goes far ahead, but this progress not only improves our life, makes it more comfortable, it also pollutes the air we breathe, and more and more substances that cause allergic reactions appear . Allergies can occur with food that we usually eat every day, medications, sun, and mold. There are people who only get sick seasonally, for example, the causative agent of an allergic reaction is pollen, ragweed, flowering pine.
Faced with such a problem as allergies, I want to learn as much as possible not only about the disease itself, but also about effective medications to combat it.
Today, there are a huge number of antihistamines that can alleviate the condition with allergic manifestations of a different nature. More often, patients buy Suprastin, analogues are not so familiar and common. "Suprastin" is one of the most effective, long-tested first-generation anti-allergic drugs. This medicine is produced by a Hungarian pharmaceutical company. The active substance is chloropyramine hydrochloride. "Suprastin" quickly enough relieves itching and other manifestations of allergies. Doctors still recommend the drug to patients, it has little effect on the body as a whole, satisfies many patients.
"Suprastin" is recommended for allergic manifestations, namely urticaria, serum sickness and other similar skin rashes. It is also recommended for skin diseases such as neurodermatitis, contact and toxic dermatitis, eczema, allergic reactions caused by drugs.
"Suprastin" is safe for babies. In practice, it is prescribed from birth, if necessary. The daily dose should not exceed 2 mg / kg of the body weight of the child.
But in addition to its advantages, it has some disadvantages. It contributes to the inhibition of the central nervous system, causing increased drowsiness. For this reason, it is undesirable to take it to people driving a car. If you need to take medicine, but there is no Suprastin in the pharmacy, use analogues without fear. For example, when taking Supramin, Subrestin, Chloropyramine hydrochloride, the therapeutic effect will be identical. Many of them are significantly more affordable than Suprastin. Analogs will hardly affect the course of treatment; it is important not to interrupt taking medications.
You can try to use other anti-allergic drugs, for example - "Fenistil", which is allowed to be used even by infants. If it is possible to choose what to buy, “Fenistil” or “Suprastin,” then the first drug has less pronounced side effects, and they rarely occur, since the main active ingredient of the drug is somewhat different - dimetindenamaleate. It is released in the form of tablets, drops and ointments, which is very convenient in the treatment of allergies.
Another widely used antihistamine is Tavegil (the active ingredient is clemastine hydrofumarate). When deciding which is better - “Suprastin” or “Tavegil”, stop on the drug that the doctor advised. However, reviews indicate that Tavegil has the least pronounced hypnotic effect. Otherwise, these two antihistamine drugs have absolutely similar characteristics. Both drugs act the same time after administration, they cannot be combined with alcohol, and they have similar contraindications. In any case, before buying such medicines, you need to consult a doctor.
Remember that when taking “Suprastin” analogues of the medicine for treatment, you should not drink alcohol and be in the sun. Also, the drug can cause drowsiness, so you cannot drive after taking it.
