pyrilamine and Pruritus

pyrilamine has been researched along with Pruritus in 12 studies

Pyrilamine: A histamine H1 antagonist. It has mild hypnotic properties and some local anesthetic action and is used for allergies (including skin eruptions) both parenterally and locally. It is a common ingredient of cold remedies.
mepyramine : An ethylenediamine derivative that is ethylenediamine in which one of the amino nitrogens is substituted by two methyl groups and the remaining amino nitrogen is substituted by a 4-methoxybenzyl and a pyridin-2-yl group.

Pruritus: An intense itching sensation that produces the urge to rub or scratch the skin to obtain relief.
