Tripelennamine
Tripelennamine
Tripelennamine (IPA: /ˌtraɪpɛˈlɛnəmiːn/), also known as Pyribenzamine, is a first-generation H1 antagonist that is used primarily as an antihistamine. It is one of the earliest antihistamines, having been developed in the 1940s, and is still in use today.
Etymology
The name "Tripelennamine" is derived from its chemical structure, which is composed of three (tri) ethylene (pelen) groups and an amine (amine) group.
Pharmacology
Tripelennamine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. It is used to treat conditions such as hay fever, urticaria, and angioedema. It can also be used to alleviate the symptoms of the common cold and to treat mild cases of Parkinson's disease.
Side Effects
Like all medications, Tripelennamine can cause side effects. These may include drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, upset stomach, constipation, or dry mouth/nose/throat. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
