Good stuff, thanks for posting.
Pharma will try to deep six this of course.
Good to know.
Of the three I’ve only used benadryl. Causes drowsiness. Long term use causes hypertension.
Now they will start banning antihistamines by requiring prescriptions for them.... “We cannot trust the proles with these powerful medicines, they could hurt themselves.”
hydroxyzine, diphenhydramine and azelastine
Atarax and Benadryl... what’s the 3rd OTC product’s name?
I bet pseudoephedrine works even better but they didn’t test it because it can be used to synthesize methamphetamine.
*** Drugs that bind ACE2 could change disease outcomes, so she asked Ostrov to develop a list of small-molecule drug candidates.***
Famotidine also binds ACE2. It is commonly sold under the name Pepcid-AC.
Although it’s on label approval is as an antacid, my doctor has me take it in addition to a Benedryl tablet when I start to break out in hives and itching. So far, it’s worked like a charm the couple of times I’ve needed to do that. I do have an epi-pen just in case, but I hope to never need to use that.
I have often wondered if a good treatment for CoVid19 would be with a nasal spray. Seems like it would target the right area quickly.
I use Flonase. I wonder if that helps?
antihistamine medications are always effective against flu effects...
All for want of a nail...
Wouldn’t it be something that Benadryl could have saved millions of lives?
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
I have been using azelastine spray for a few years for over abundant nasal drip. It works.
