Histamine is normally released when your body detects something harmful, such as an infection. It causes blood vessels to expand and the skin to swell, which helps protect the body.
But in people with allergies, the body mistakes something harmless — such as pollen, animal hair or house dust — for a threat and produces histamine. The histamine causes an allergic reaction with unpleasant symptoms including itchy, watering eyes, a running or blocked nose, sneezing and skin rashes. Antihistamines help stop this happening if you take them before you come into contact with the substance you're allergic to.
Or they can reduce the severity of symptoms if you take them afterwards. The leaflet that comes in the packet with your medicine will have detailed information about it, including how to take it and what side effects you might get.
If you no longer have the leaflet that came with your medicine, you can search for an online version of it using our medicines guide. You may also find information on individual antihistamines on these websites:. Page last reviewed: 28 February Next review due: 28 February Types of antihistamine There are many types of antihistamine. They're usually divided into 2 main groups: antihistamines that make you feel sleepy — such as acrivastine , chlorphenamine Piriton , hydroxyzine and promethazine non-drowsy antihistamines that are less likely to make you feel sleepy — such as cetirizine , cinnarizine , diphenhydramine , fexofenadine and loratadine They also come in several different forms — including tablets, capsules, liquids, syrups, creams, lotions, gels, eyedrops and nasal sprays.
Which type is best? How to take antihistamines Take your medicine as advised by the pharmacist or doctor, or as described in the leaflet that comes with it. Before taking an antihistamine, you should know: how to take it — including whether it needs to be taken with water or food, or how to use it correctly if eyedrops or a nasal spray how much to take the dose — this can vary depending on things such as your age and weight when to take it — including how many times a day you can take it and when to take it some types should be taken before bedtime how long to take it for — some types can be used for a long time, but some are only recommended for a few days what to do if you miss a dose or take too much overdose The advice varies depending on the exact medicine you're taking.
