Can Astemizole treat urticaria?

Urticaria is a skin disease that is very bothersome to people. People with urticaria will have symptoms such as itching all over the body, red spots, etc., which greatly affects their living conditions and is not aesthetically pleasing. People are very concerned about the treatment of urticaria, but correct measures must be taken to treat urticaria, otherwise it may be counterproductive, not only failing to cure the disease but also making the condition worse. So let’s introduce whether Astemizole can treat urticaria?

As to the question of whether Astemizole can treat urticaria, the answer is yes.

Using Astemizole can temporarily control the condition but cannot cure it. Urticaria, commonly known as wheals, urticaria, wind bumps, and urticaria blocks (similar to rubella in name, but not the same disease), is a common skin disease. Various factors cause temporary inflammatory congestion and large amounts of fluid exudation in the blood vessels of the skin and mucous membranes, resulting in local edema damage. It occurs and disappears rapidly, with severe itching. Currently, Western medicine has no specific treatment for urticaria, and most of them use oral antihistamines and corticosteroids for temporary suppression, but the disease will recur when stimulated. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is related to low immunity, and toxins and impurities in the blood cannot be discharged normally, and symptoms erupt on the body surface through external stimulation. As the saying goes: the disease is outside, and the root is inside. It is difficult to cure if the cause is not removed. Traditional Chinese medicine uses holistic therapy to improve immunity and discharge blood toxins, which can cure it.

[Treatment policy]

Treatment is based on the cause. If the cause cannot be found, the condition can be controlled through medication.

[Symptomatic treatment]

Drugs that reduce vascular permeability, such as vitamin C, vitamin P, calcium supplements, etc., are often used in combination with antihistamines. If it is caused by infectious factors, appropriate antibiotics can be used for treatment.

[Drug treatment]

Commonly used drugs are: 1. Antihistamines: ① H receptor antagonists: They have good effects in treating all types of urticaria. ② Doxepin: It is a tricyclic antidepressant, especially effective for chronic urticaria. 2. Glucocorticoids: The second-line medication for the treatment of urticaria, generally used when severe acute urticaria, urticarial vasculitis, and pressure urticaria are ineffective with antihistamines. 3. Immunosuppressants: They can be used when patients with chronic urticaria have an autoimmune basis, the disease recurs, and other treatments cannot achieve satisfactory results.

[Prognosis]

Most patients can recover on their own.
