PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION

Diphenhydramine hydrochloride manifests an antihistaminic effect by blocking the H-histamine

1 receptors. It removes the effects observed as a result of the increased histamine content in

blood and tissues, thereby affecting blood vessels and smooth muscles. It induces almost no

effect on the secretory function of the gastric glands. It reveals also a sedative, local anaesthetic,

ganglioplegic, anti-inflammatory and antitussive action.
