Allergic diseases and allergic reactions are very common today. For relief of the symptoms of these diseases are produced different drugs. Tsetrin belongs to the third generation of allergy drugs - blockers of histamine H1 receptors.

What is histamine and how it works

Histamine - a biologically active substance which acts as a mediator transmitting excitation with cells on the cell. Histamine is involved in allergic and inflammatory processes, stimulates gastric acid secretion. In the cells of many tissues are small molecules - receptors sensitive to histamine - namely through them a signal to start an allergic reaction.

Receptors sensitive to histamine are found in the skin, mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and are called H1-histamine receptor responsible for allergic processes. There are histamine H2 retsepotry, they are located in the stomach wall and responsible for the secretion and the acidity of gastric juice.

Action tsetrina on the body

Tsetrin available in tablets of 10 mg and has a selective blocking effect on the histamine H1-receptors that histamine searches through access to the tissues. This drug belongs to the third generation drugs blockers H1-histamine receptors.
