Deslona Syrup 2.5 mg/5 ml
Deslona Syrup 2.5 mg/5 ml Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Deslona Syrup 2.5 mg/5 ml is a long-acting, tricyclic, non-sedating, selective peripheral histamine H1-receptor antagonist which inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory mediators from human mast cells and basophils.
Deslona Syrup 2.5 mg/5 ml is a long-acting second-generation H1-receptor antagonist which has a selective and peripheral H1-antagonist action. Histamine is a chemical that causes many of the signs that are part of allergic reactions, such as the swelling of tissues. Histamine is released from histamine-storing cells (mast cells) and attaches to other cells that have receptors for histamine. The attachment of the histamine to the receptors causes the cell to be "activated," releasing other chemicals which produce the effects that we associate with allergies. Deslona Syrup 2.5 mg/5 ml blocks one type of receptor for histamine (the H1 receptor) and thus prevents activation of cells by histamine. Unlike most other antihistamines, Deslona Syrup 2.5 mg/5 ml does not enter the brain from the blood and, therefore, does not cause drowsiness.

How Deslona Syrup 2.5 mg/5 ml works
Like other H1-blockers, Deslona Syrup 2.5 mg/5 ml competes with free histamine for binding at H1-receptors in the GI tract, uterus, large blood vessels, and bronchial smooth muscle. This blocks the action of endogenous histamine, which subsequently leads to temporary relief of the negative symptoms (eg. nasal congestion, watery eyes) brought on by histamine.

In animal studies, lethality was observed at or above doses of 250 mg/kg in rats and of 353 mg/kg in mice (oral LD50), doses that represent 120 and 290 times the human exposure based on the recommended daily oral dose. In monkey, no deaths occurred at doses up to 250 mg/kg, representing an exposure roughly 810 times that of the recommended dose in humans.
