Researchers find antihistamines ineffective against colt
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
antihistamines found in most of
the cold remedies on the market
may do more harm than good,
medical experts said Wednesday,
suggesting they be removed from
those products.
One of the experts said a shot
or two of whiskey before bedtime
might be better for a cold sufferer
than a nip of Nyquil.
While antihistamines are useful
in treating allergies, their effect in
treating the symptoms of a cold
are marginal at best, witnesses
told a House panel.
"Since antihistamines have the
potential to cause harmful effects,
the risks associated with their use
outweigh any meager benefit,"
said Leslie Hendeles, a professor
of pharmacy and pediatrics at the
University of Florida.
"It is my opinion that these
drugs should be removed from all
non-prescription products pro
moted for the relief of cough and
cold symptoms."
Hendeles said studies going
back to the mid-1970s found that
cold sufferers given antihis
tamines did no better than those
given a placebo.
In addition, he said, the anti
histamines have potentially dan
gerous side effects, such as
drowsiness and impaired!
performance.
People with allergies get r
noses and watery eyes whed
linings of their noses andeyesj
lease histamine, Hendeles!
The treatment for that is an£
histamine, often in combinat
with a decongestant.
A cold is a virus,andstuM
have found that it does not cause?
release of histamine,he said.
