How to Take Your Medicine Antihistamines

Antihistamines work by temporarily blocking the action of a substance produced by the body called histamine, which can cause itching, sneezing, runny nose and eyes, and other symptoms. Most of these drugs can have a drying effect on the nasal mucous. They are structurally related to local anesthetics and can produce sedation. The reason why some antihistamines are effective against motion sickness and some symptoms of Parkinson's disease is not known.
