Periactin
Adults who suffer from allergies know that there are certain triggers that will set off an allergic reaction. They have gone through all of the medical testing to find out what their triggers are and what to expect when an allergic reaction come on. The sneezing, congestion, swelling and inflammation have emerged all too often and they will do anything to prevent them. There are many medications that are on the market that will prevent an allergy outbreak. One such medication is Periactin.
How does Periactin work?
Periactin is an antihistamine that has to be prescribed by a medical doctor. It was developed to eliminate allergy symptoms that can lead to life threatening reactions to the allergens.
Although Periactin can be given to children as well as adults, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions. This will minimize any risk of side effects. Although adults who have taken Periactin have reported feeling drowsy and lethargic, on some people particularly children the drug has the opposite effect and they become excited.
There are several drug interaction warnings that go with Periactin , if you are taking medicine for asthma, glaucoma, hyperactive thyroid, or high blood pressure, then Periactin may not be the right allergy medicine for you. If you are taking an antidepressant drug known as an MAO inhibitor you should not take Periactin. Periactin should not be used during pregnancy or if the mother is breastfeeding. Reduction of response time and loss of coordination are just two of the side affects of taking Periactin. Other symptoms of side effects include;
· Anemia
· Loss of appetite
· Constipation
· Diarrhea
· Frequent urination
· Dry mouth
It is critically important that you seek medical treatment if you experience any of these side effects.
