Before you start taking pills for allergies, you need to rid the body of the entry into it of the main culprit of poor health - allergen. In the case when the hypersensitivity to certain allergens is accurately established, confirmed by the results of allergological analyzes and samples, it is not difficult to exclude the effect of the allergen. It is much more difficult for those with whom the allergy proceeds according to the principle of not clear genesis. Here, before talking about treatment, you need to start with a trip to the allergist.

To suffer an unpleasant manifestation of symptoms until the main diagnostic data are obtained, it is not necessary. There are a number of medicines that do not cure allergies in principle, but very successfully remove its main symptoms. These drugs include groups of antihistamines, glucocorticoid hormones and hormones of the group of cromones.

Tablet Tablet Strife

In the majority of tablets from an allergy contain the whole complex of contraindications, side effects, can cause individual intolerance. Against the background of existing chronic diseases of internal organs, predispositions to the emergence of permanent foci of infection, for example, sinusitis, tonsillitis, frequent tonsillitis - taking any medications should begin after consultation with a doctor. It is not necessary to look for highly specialized rooms in which you can get advice from an otolaryngologist, an allergist or an immunologist. It is enough to visit a physician-therapist in the nearest clinic, in order to find out the basic data on your health, get competent recommendations on the appropriate intake of a pill from allergies.

Taking medications inside or applying to the skin, mucous membranes in the form of ointments, gels, the use of inhalations aimed at stopping attacks of allergic bronchial asthma - all this should be justified. As a rule, life, filled with a constant expectation of the onset of another attack of allergy, causes a person to undergo all necessary preparatory procedures and keep allergy tablets that ease the condition, at hand. Excessive caution in handling antihistamines and, especially, with hormonal agents, it is necessary to show those to whom the allergy "comes" for the first time.

Antihistamine tablets from the allergy of three generations

The most popular group of drugs are antihistamine tablets from allergies. At the moment, allergy tablets have been developed and successfully used in practice for three generations related to this group. The first to use first-generation drugs. Well-known to a wide range of people such names as dimedrol, tavegil, suprastin. This is exactly what those pioneers who first began to use as blockers of receptors sensitive to histamine, a substance provoking all violent allergic reactions.

As blockers, these drugs excellently cope with their task, and as tablets from allergies, in general, have a lot of contraindications and, most importantly, a large number of side effects. A pronounced hypnotic effect is the most serious action, which belongs to the number of side effects. Sleeping effect can be supplemented by a diffused consciousness, palpitation. Removing the symptoms of an allergy, a person is forced to abandon an active lifestyle and the main activity.

Taking into account all the shortcomings of the first generation drugs, strengthening the main therapeutic effect, reducing the number of side effects, the developers managed to get more modern allergy tablets, which got the name, second generation antihistamines. Call them completely perfect, too, can not. Significant improvements were made to the mechanism of their action, but it was not possible to completely exclude all the side effects caused by them. Dry mouth, frequent unpleasant manifestations of the cardiovascular system - give grounds for the careful use of these drugs in a number of patients.

And, finally, allergy tablets are among the third generation antihistamines. The most effective means, which showed good results in the treatment of allergies in patients of different ages, ranging from the smallest children. Studies conducted and many years of official use in medicine have shown that this generation of drugs can be considered among the most effective. Side effects of these pills from allergies, except for individual intolerance of the individual components that make up the drug, do not cause.

Hormonal allergy tablets

In spite of the fact that hormonal preparations are in free sale and in pharmacies are dispensed without prescriptions, it must be remembered that they exert a strong effect on intracellular mechanisms and can lead to serious disturbances in metabolic processes, having a negative impact on the natural hormonal background of the organism, violating its balance.

Corticosteroid drugs are used not only as tablets from allergies, but also in the form of external agents - ointments, gels, creams. To stop severe attacks of an allergic reaction, intravenous spray and drip infusions of hormonal antiallergenic agents are used, along with a number of other medications that help to alleviate the situation.

Before smearing the skin with prednisolone, hydrocortisone or dexamethozone - remember that these are preparations containing glucocorticoid hormones. Such ointments can very quickly "remove" the rash from the skin, but, together with relief, can lead to serious problems. Of course, a single use of such ointments is unlikely to harm immediately, but as a permanent remedy for removing allergic skin manifestations, they are suitable only after a special doctor's appointment.

She is also a group of hormonal drugs used to treat allergic manifestations - cromones. In the connective tissue, which is found in almost all organs of our body, there are special mast cells performing a protective immune function. Entering into the body allergen causes irritating effect on the walls of these cells, leading to the destruction of their membrane and the release of histamine. Histamine, in turn, begins to provoke a violent chain reaction, which underlies any allergy. Tablets from the allergy based on kromonov - ketonefen, intal - contribute to the stabilization of membranes of mast cells, reduce the release of histamine and alleviate the allergic state. Expediency of reception of kromonov should be confirmed by results of diagnostic laboratory researches and to pass under the strict control of the doctor, it is desirable the allergist.

Often there are situations when the treatment of an allergy begins not with that drug, long-term non-effective antiallergic drugs are taken, which results in another type of allergic reaction - a drug allergy. And a vicious circle starts in which allergy pills are taken. To avoid this, you need to adhere to the right approach to the process of complex treatment and recovery of the body.
