"Tavegil". Instructions and references

Tablets "Tavegila" contain active substance klemastin and are one of the types of sedative antihistamines. So describes the "Tavegil" instruction. It works by inhibiting the action of histamine produced by the body. It is stored in a bound state in cells called mast cells, almost in all tissues. When the body reacts to a foreign body (allergen, for example, pollen of flowers, pet hair, dust mites), mast cells are stimulated with an allergen and release of histamine. It causes a chain reaction leading to allergic symptoms, as well as an increase in blood flow to the reaction area. As a result, other chemicals are formed that increase the allergic reaction.

Thus, the release of histamine leads to symptoms of an allergic reaction. When hay fever begins, inflammation of the skin, eyes, nose or respiratory tract. Eyes water and itch, a person suffers from a runny nose, swelling in the nasal cavity and sneezing. Histamine is responsible for the symptoms of allergic rash and itching, as well as reactions to certain foods, medications or insect bites. It can cause more severe forms of allergies, such as Quincke's edema, which includes severe swelling of the eyes, lips, tongue, or throat. To block the same receptors of histamine H1 is capable of "Tavegil". The instruction to him informs that the actual release from the mast cells of histamine does not interfere, but prevents its binding to the receptors. As a result, other chemicals that enhance the symptoms of allergy are not produced . Clemastine is called a sedative antihistamine because it enters the brain in significant amounts and causes drowsiness.

In addition to drowsiness, this medicine can provoke a visual impairment and dizziness. When treating "Tavegil" you should not work with machinery or drive a car and you should definitely exclude alcohol. If Tavegil is assigned to children, they should avoid potentially dangerous activities such as biking or tree climbing. 48 hours before passing the tests for the diagnosis of allergies, you must stop taking Clemastine. After all, the drug can prevent or reduce skin reactions that indicate an allergen and reduce the reliability of test results.
