astemizole has been researched along with Hypersensitivity in 18 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Astemizole: Antihistamine drug now withdrawn from the market in many countries because of rare but potentially fatal side effects.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.

Hypersensitivity: Altered reactivity to an antigen, which can result in pathologic reactions upon subsequent exposure to that particular antigen.

"Astemizole is an H1-histamine receptor antagonist with a long duration of action permitting once daily administration."2.37Astemizole. A review of its pharmacodynamic properties and therapeutic efficacy. ( Avery, GS; Brogden, RN; Heel, RC; Richards, DM; Speight, TM, 1984)
" 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.
