Second‐ and third‐generation antihistamines in the treatment of urticaria

Abstract: Chronic urticaria is mainly idiopathic in nature and can be difficult to treat. While less responsive to antihistamine therapy than acute urticaria, antihistamines still play a key role in the management of symptomatology. While many of the antihistamines still commonly used to treat urticaria are first generation H1 antagonists (e.g., diphenhydramine, hydroxyzine), the more recently developed second‐generation agents (e.g., loratadine, cetirizine) and their metabolites—the third‐generation antihistamines (e.g… Show more

“…Cetirizine lacks activity at α‐adrenergic, dopamine, serotonin, and muscarinic receptors. Although it does not readily cross the blood–brain barrier, it does cause a higher incidence of sedation than placebo (12,13). There are no reports of associated cardiac toxicity with cetirizine.…”

“…Animal studies suggest that desloratadine is approximately 2.5–4.0 times more potent as an H1 antihistamine than loratadine. Neither loratadine nor desloratadine have known cardiac toxicity (2,13,15).…”
