Clinical reviews in allergy, 11(1), 89-110 (1993-01-01)
Antihistamines are considered first-line therapy for the relief of symptoms from allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria. The newer, second-generation, nonsedating antihistamines reduce the central nervous system and anticholinergic side effects commonly found with previous drugs. The availability of H1-receptor antagonists
