What they didnt tell you about the Antihistamine Tavist
Antihistamines: Tavist
Tavist is an over-the-counter antihistamine which is
conveniently packaged in either tablet or syrup form. It can be
taken with or without food, but should always be taken with
water. The main action of this medication is that it inhibits
the production of histamine in the body. Histamine is a
naturally produced biochemical which inflames the mucous
membranes and causes swelling, itching and a runny nose. Tavist
works to reduce the production of histamine in the body. Along
with other allergy-reducing medicines, Tavist has been
successful in helping people reduce the symptoms of allergies
and colds. It also plays a great role in the medical industry
because of its ability to relieve itchy skin from allergies,
rashes and even snake bites. The reason that it is considered to
be more effective against itchiness, is because it uses the
active ingredient, clemastine fumarate. This ingredient is an
antihistamine which is proven to be most effective for
diminishing rashes, itchy throats and skin. As an interesting
note, Tavist's active ingredient, clemastine, is also used by
veterinarians for its effectiveness in treating animals
suffering from allergies as well.
The side effects are typical of other
antihistamines. Drowsiness, stomach pain and nausea are the most
common of these. These symptoms were considered more severe for
those over 60. Sensitivities for pregnant or
nursing women have
led the manufacturer to advise that this group contact their
doctor before using the medication, although Tavist does have a
category B rating which means that it is unlikely to harm an
unborn baby. Those suffering from bronchial asthma,
hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular, glaucoma, prostrate, bladder,
or stomach problems are also advised to consult their doctor
before taking Tavist. Because of the drowsiness possibilities,
users are also advised against using heavy machinery or
automobiles while taking the medication.
Anyone taking MAOI inhibitors is urged not to use Tavist at
all. Apparently, the drug interactions are considered severe, if
not fatal. The following medications are also advised against
using with Tavist: Xanex, Valium, Librium, Restoril, Halcion and
any other drug which already has a side effect of
drowsiness. One should not use Tavist unless more than 14 days
have passed since any of these other drugs have been
taken. Signs of a general allergic reaction to the medication
include a swelling of the throat, eyes, face or tongue. If this
should occur, users are advised to seek medical services
immediately.
