Allergy is a companion to progress. The higher the level of hygiene, the more cases of allergies. The more pollution in the air, water and land - the more suffering from this disease. Fortunately, science does not stand still, and pharmacists create more and more new allergy remedies. Most effective of these are listed in this top 10.
Antihistamines are I, II and III generations:
- I - effective tablets, powders, ointments, but with a large number of side effects. They quickly relieve symptoms, but are not intended for systemic treatment of allergies.
- II - drugs for allergies of a wider spectrum. They are softer, but also have a number of side effects.
- III - drugs for allergies of the latest generation. They act on a cellular level without affecting CNS. Suitable for long-term treatment. Virtually devoid of side effects.
