diphenhydramine and Pneumonia

diphenhydramine has been researched along with Pneumonia in 5 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.

Pneumonia: Infection of the lung often accompanied by inflammation.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In conclusion, pulmonary inflammation and peripheral thrombosis are correlated at 6 and 24 hours, but at 1 hour, the prothrombotic effects do not appear to result from pulmonary inflammation but possibly from the blood penetration of DEP-associated components or by DEP particles themselves."1.32Pulmonary inflammation and thrombogenicity caused by diesel particles in hamsters: role of histamine.
