Faced with the manifestations of allergies, many do not pay attention to it as long as it does not interfere with a normal lifestyle. After all, most people are afraid to take anti-allergy drugs, having heard about their effect on the human body. A few decades ago, many tablets caused drowsiness, they increased the susceptibility of alcohol (often many even refused alcohol-containing tinctures and drops), they could not be taken by those whose work required an increased concentration.
But antiallergenic drugs of a new generation (means "Fexofenadine", "Cetirizine", etc.) no longer cause so many side effects. They can be used by almost all people. The active substances used in them do not have a sedative effect and are rapidly excreted from the body. Of course, before prescribing any funds, you must consult a doctor. Only he, taking into account your anamnesis, should choose the right pill or drop for you. Nowadays, it is not so difficult to help pregnant and lactating women suffering from allergies. Of course, the list of drugs that they are allowed is limited, but nevertheless, each of them can choose the appropriate option. You can also remove various manifestations of allergies from almost the first days of the life of babies. Antiallergenic drugs for children have been developed that can be used from infancy.
All funds work in almost the same way: they block histamine receptors. After all, the latter are the cause of allergy symptoms: lacrimation, runny nose, skin rashes, itching, redness of the eyes or swelling.
Antihistamines stop them, reducing the manifestations of the disease. When taking
anti-allergic drugs, it is important to understand that they do not cure the disease, they simply temporarily relieve symptoms. If you stop taking them, then all manifestations of allergies will resume. If during taking antihistamines you feel significant relief, all manifestations disappear, and you forget about your problem, then the anti-allergenic drugs are chosen correctly, they help.
But getting rid of the problem is practically impossible, because for this it is necessary to eliminate the irritant. Often this is simply impossible: most people suffer from allergies to pollen, dust, and pet hair. Of course, if in order to get rid of the problem it is necessary to abandon the use of certain foods, then it is better not to eat them than to constantly drink quite expensive anti-allergenic drugs.
Currently, the pharmaceutical industry offers funds of 3 generations. The first of them require repeated use in large doses, they can cause all kinds of side effects. These include such well-known drugs as Diazolin, Tavigil, Suprastin, Diphenhydramine and several others. Means of the second generation do not cause drowsiness, decrease in concentration, but their intake has a toxic effect on the heart. Therefore, when using such medicines as "Fenistil", "Claritin", "Histanol", it is necessary to control its work. But 3rd generation drugs are allowed for all categories of people, they do not have any negative effect on the body and are quickly excreted. Also, modern antiallergenic drugs are designed so that they can be taken once a day. These are the medicines "Telfast", "Tsetrin", "Zodak".
