Abstract
The usefulness of antihistamines may be impaired by their sedative side effects. In a double blind crossover study of 24 patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria, tertenadine [a selective H1 receptor antagonist] was a non-sedative and highly effective drug.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
