What Are Antihistamines Used For? Answering the FAQs
Allergy is a common chronic disease that affects one in three Australians at some point in their lives. It starts when your body becomes sensitive to things around you, like plants, foods, animals and medicines. When your body is exposed to allergens, it starts releasing a chemical called histamine. It is what makes you sneeze, your eyes and skin itch, your nose run, red and swollen. In a way, it's trying to get you to sneeze out or scratch away the allergen. Luckily, the symptoms of allergic reactions can be treated easily and effectively using a group of medicines called antihistamines.
