cyproheptadine and Catarrh

cyproheptadine has been researched along with Catarrh in 5 studies

Cyproheptadine: A serotonin antagonist and a histamine H1 blocker used as antipruritic, appetite stimulant, antiallergic, and for the post-gastrectomy dumping syndrome, etc.
cyproheptadine : The product resulting from the formal oxidative coupling of position 5 of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene with position 4 of 1-methylpiperidine resulting in the formation of a double bond between the two fragments. It is a sedating antihistamine with antimuscarinic and calcium-channel blocking actions. It is used (particularly as the hydrochloride sesquihydrate) for the relief of allergic conditions including rhinitis, conjunctivitis due to inhalant allergens and foods, urticaria and angioedema, and in pruritic skin disorders. Unlike other antihistamines, it is also a seratonin receptor antagonist, making it useful in conditions such as vascular headache and anorexia.

Catarrh: Inflammation of a mucous membrane with increased flow of mucous in humans or animals. Catarrh is used mostly in a historical context.

"In a five-day, randomized, double-blind study, the efficacy and safety of a syrup containing a combination of azatadine maleate, pseudoephedrine sulfate, and dextromethorphan hydrobromide (SCH 399 syrup) were compared with those of an expectorant containing the antihistamine diphenhydramine hydrochloride in 60 children with symptoms of the common cold and associated cough."5.05Therapeutic approaches to the common cold in children. ( Weippl, G, 1984)
"Loratadine is a long acting antihistamine which has a high selectivity for peripheral histamine H1-receptors and lacks the central nervous system depressant effects often associated with some of the older antihistamines."2.38Loratadine. A preliminary review of its pharmacodynamic properties and therapeutic efficacy. ( Clissold, SP; Goa, KL; Sorkin, EM, 1989)
