diphenhydramine and Hypotension, Orthostatic

diphenhydramine has been researched along with Hypotension, Orthostatic in 3 studies

Diphenhydramine: A histamine H1 antagonist used as an antiemetic, antitussive, for dermatoses and pruritus, for hypersensitivity reactions, as a hypnotic, an antiparkinson, and as an ingredient in common cold preparations. It has some undesired antimuscarinic and sedative effects.
diphenhydramine : An ether that is the benzhydryl ether of 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol. It is a H1-receptor antagonist used as a antipruritic and antitussive drug.
antitussive : An agent that suppresses cough. Antitussives have a central or a peripheral action on the cough reflex, or a combination of both. Compare with expectorants, which are considered to increase the volume of secretions in the respiratory tract, so facilitating their removal by ciliary action and coughing, and mucolytics, which decrease the viscosity of mucus, facilitating its removal by ciliary action and expectoration.

Hypotension, Orthostatic: A significant drop in BLOOD PRESSURE after assuming a standing position. Orthostatic hypotension is a finding, and defined as a 20-mm Hg decrease in systolic pressure or a 10-mm Hg decrease in diastolic pressure 3 minutes after the person has risen from supine to standing. Symptoms generally include DIZZINESS, blurred vision, and SYNCOPE.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In our patient, a 34-year-old man with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes and autonomic neuropathy manifested by postural hypotension and diarrhea, treatment with diphenhydramine and cimetidine (H1 and H2 histamine antagonists, respectively) markedly improved the hypotension and diarrhea and led to better blood glucose control."3.66Combination H1 and H2 receptor antagonist therapy in diabetic autonomic neuropathy. ( Robertson, D; Stacpoole, PW, 1982)
"There was no evidence of causes for the anaphylactic reactions over a two and a half year period."1.27Life-threatening idiopathic anaphylaxis associated with hyperimmunoglobulinemia E. ( Greenberger, PA, 1984)
