Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effect of astemizole on the weal and flare response to intradermal histamine has been studied in normal volunteers after single dosing, and in patients with urticaria and pruritus after chronic dosing with the drug."3.66The effects of astemizole on histamine-induced weal and flare. ( Bateman, DN; Chapman, PH; Rawlins, MD, 1983)
"Erythromycin was started to treat presumed bacterial infection in children with complete radiologic opacification of the maxillary sinus(es)."2.69Evaluation of the potential cardiotoxicity of the antihistamines terfenadine, astemizole, loratadine, and cetirizine in atopic children. ( Delgado, LF; Naspitz, CK; Pferferman, A; Solé, D, 1998)
" As expected, astemizole-D tended to have a longer duration of action, with symptom severity lower with this agent than with loratadine-D during the second challenge session despite the differences in dosing schedule."2.68Efficacy and tolerability of astemizole-D and Loratadine-D during prolonged, controlled allergen challenge in the Vienna Challenge Chamber. ( Berger, U; Horak, F; Jäger, S; Toth, J, 1996)
