Clemastine 1.34mg Tablets

Antihistamine

Clemastine Fumarate 1.34mg is an antihistamine that blocks action of histamine on tissues. Similar to other antihistamines, Clemastine acts by blocking the H₁ receptor and suppresses inflammatory reactions caused by histamine. The H₁ blockers have been used to control pruritus (itching) and skin inflammation in dogs and cats (skin allergies).

Clesmastine Fumarate is also taken by people for symptomatic relief of rhinorrhea, sneezing, lacrimation, itching eyes, or oronasopharyngeal itching associated with allergic rhinitis (e.g., hay fever) or other upper respiratory allergies. Also given for the management of mild, uncomplicated allergic skin manifestations of urticaria (hives) and angioedema.
