Pharmacological properties

Tavegil - tablets, the price of which is quite affordable, which is considered an advantage for many patients. The tool has pronounced antiallergic properties, and also relieves itching, swelling. In addition, the drug has the ability to block components that provoke the production of large amounts of histamines.

As a result, there is a decrease in the severity of all allergic manifestations, as well as an improvement in the general condition of the patient. Additionally, the drug reduces the likelihood of redness and other disorders that often occur in patients with chronic forms of allergic reactions.

It is worth noting the slight sedative effect of the drug, which does not provoke drowsiness, but helps to normalize the patient's psycho-emotional state. Often, emotional imbalance leads to an aggravation of the manifestations of allergies, so a slight sedation helps prevent complications.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The drug has a therapeutic effect quite quickly after taking the pill inside. Its active component is rapidly distributed through the systemic circulation and is concentrated in the area where the allergic reaction develops. Clemastine blocks type I histamine receptors, which leads to a weakening of the severity of negative reactions from tissues and blood vessels.

The tool prevents the development of edema, which is the result of an increase in the permeability of the vascular wall under the influence of negative factors. In addition, the drug removes redness foci. Which also occur when histamine acts on blood vessels and tissues.

As a result, there is a weakening of external manifestations, as well as prevention of the progression of the condition. In addition, clemastine has the ability to relieve pain in the area of ​​an allergic reaction. The action is not expressed, but with a slight discomfort, it allows you to alleviate the course of the condition. The sedative properties of the drug are manifested quite clearly.

Despite the lack of evidence that the medication provokes drowsiness, the experience of most patients proves the opposite. Many people note a decrease in activity, performance, as well as a slowdown in reaction, especially when performing manipulations that require the utmost concentration of attention.

When ingested, the active ingredient is released in the small intestine and enters the systemic circulation, after which it is concentrated in the area of ​​the greatest accumulation of histamines. The maximum concentration in blood plasma is reached 1 hour after taking the tablet. Clemastine does not accumulate in the blood or tissues, which significantly reduces the risk of signs of overdose.

The effect of using the pill lasts no more than 12 hours. The substance does not lose its properties even by the end of this period, which is considered an advantage of the drug.

The processing of the active ingredient is carried out in the liver, where it is partially broken down into metabolites. Almost half of the processed ingredients are excreted in the modified form by the kidneys. About 1/3 of the components are evacuated unchanged.

It is noted that in patients with pathologies of the liver, kidneys and organs of the digestive tract, the processing and excretion of active substances slows down somewhat. In healthy people, the period of cleansing the body from metabolites takes no more than 1 day. In each case, the indicators can change in one direction or another, which depends on the individual characteristics of the patient.
