hexamethonium and Hypersensitivity

hexamethonium has been researched along with Hypersensitivity in 3 studies

Hexamethonium: A nicotinic cholinergic antagonist often referred to as the prototypical ganglionic blocker. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It has been used for a variety of therapeutic purposes including hypertension but, like the other ganglionic blockers, it has been replaced by more specific drugs for most purposes, although it is widely used a research tool.

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

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The degree of protection against inhaled histamine achieved by inhalation of the ganglion blocker hexamethonium bromide plus placebo, hexamethonium plus atropine sulphate, and placebo plus placebo was examined in six atopic subjects, four of whom had current asthma."5.05The effect of inhaled hexamethonium bromide and atropine sulphate on airway responsiveness to histamine. ( Daniel, EE; Hargreave, FE; Latimer, KM; Morris, MM; O'Byrne, PM; Roberts, RS; Thomson, NC, 1985)
"Brown-Norway rats (n=113) sensitized and challenged with nDer f 1 allergen were used to examine the contribution of lung sensory nerves to ozone (O(3)) exacerbation of asthma."3.78Vagal afferents contribute to exacerbated airway responses following ozone and allergen challenge. ( Schelegle, ES; Walby, WF, 2012)
