Antihistamines are drags used to counteract the effects of histamine on body organs and structures. Examples of antihistamines include diphenhydramine (Benadryl), loratadine (Claritin), fexofenadine (Allegra), and cetirizine (Zyrtec). A new antihistamine, deslorata-dine (Clarinex), is die active metabolite of loratadine and is intended to eventually replace loratadine (Claritin). Topical corticosteroid nasal sprays such as fluticasone propionate (Flonase) or triamcinolone ace-tonide (Nasacort AQ) are also used for nasal allergy symptoms. See Chapter 56 for more information on die topical corticosteroids.
