astemizole and Anaphylaxis

astemizole has been researched along with Anaphylaxis in 7 studies

Astemizole: Antihistamine drug now withdrawn from the market in many countries because of rare but potentially fatal side effects.
astemizole : A piperidine compound having a 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl group at the 1-position and an N-[(4-fluorobenzyl)benzimidazol-2-yl]amino group at the 4-position.

Anaphylaxis: An acute hypersensitivity reaction due to exposure to a previously encountered ANTIGEN. The reaction may include rapidly progressing URTICARIA, respiratory distress, vascular collapse, systemic SHOCK, and death.

"Astemizole is a very effective inhibitor of allergic reactions in rats and dogs."1.27[Pharmacology of astemizole (Hismanal) a non-sedating H1 antihistaminic]. ( Niemegeers, CJ, 1985)
" In numerous tests no evidence of central activity was found and toxicity studies have shown astemizole to be a very safe drug despite of its long duration of action."1.27The pharmacological profile of a specific, safe, effective and non-sedative anti-allergic, astemizole.
