After autumn and a very loaded spring principle of rain, pollen exploded in Spain, since he did not do this, and Cases of allergies They strongly hardened throughout the country. Those who are barely engaged in several symptoms this year undergo a much stronger allergic picture. Even those who did not know what allergies are for the first time. Therefore, many people began to take drugs to make them easier and ask themselves a million dollars: you can Mix antihistamines with alcohol?
It should be recognized that this is not a rare question, because allergies coincides with the season of terracites and beer. However, although we know that there are many drugs that should not be mixed with alcohol, sometimes with antihistamine drugs we close the blind eye. We do this while one day we doubt whether we have good.
The fact that we must be clear at the moment is that We should never drink alcoholEven if we do not take any drugs. This is more than demonstrated that the only healthy amount of alcohol is not one. Nevertheless, many of us decided to accept it more or less moderately under our responsibility. In this case, it makes sense to ask yourself whether it is possible to mix antihistamines with alcohol. And the answer mainly depends.
What does it depend on?
A Antihistamines They act blocking Receptors that histamines associate with, The type of molecules, which, in addition to other functions, are responsible for the modulation of some of The answers of the immune system. For example, blood vessels expand so that more white blood cells can go to the place where the infection occurs and produces mucus, which acts like a trap for those pathogens who try to attack us. The problem is that in allergic processes a protective response occurs in the face of something, which is actually not a threat. For example, pollen. All the symptoms obtained are unnecessary and, ultimately, abound. That is why we need antihistamines.
This locking of receptors is made in central nervous system, where histamines also perform functions associated with Sleep cycles/vigil controlThe field, therefore, drowsiness This is one of the main side effects of antihistamines.
As for alcohol, it also acts at the level The central nervous system. This is the reason why in broad moves we should not mix antihistamines with alcohol. Its consequences are expanding together And drowsiness can be dangerous, especially if we are going to drive or process cars of any kind.
Now not all antihistamines act the same on the central nervous system. Those who know how First generation They can cross Hematoencephalic barrier This is responsible for protecting the brain from entering certain substances. Therefore, the effects are even more intense. Instead, the second generation does not overcome this barrier. As a result, they cause less drowsiness and other similar symptoms. In the first group we find DoxylamineFor example. In the second, Cetirizin and loratein.
Antihistamines and alcohol: these are the worst and the best
In general, we should never mix antihistamines with alcohol. However, side effects will always be more intense with the first generation. There is an antihistamine called DifenhydramineWhich is especially dangerous if mixed with alcohol. It was evident that, in addition to drowsiness, this can cause Glottering, dehydration, loss of consciousness, and in memory and difficulties of training. In Spain, it is barely used as antihistamine, but we can find it in medicines against the cold, like Bizolvon. Never mix it with alcohol.
As for antihistamines of the second generation, drowsiness and It is not desirable to mix themBut it is true that the effects are not so intense.
Finally, there are some that are probably mixed. Pharmacist Guillermo MartinFamous in the networks as an enraged pharmacist, two recently said Tiktok in one of their videos: Bilastin and DriDespite this, the field warns that it will always not mix it.
You can go through spring without drinking alcohol, seriously. Even the rest of the year, if you offer it. If you still do not want to do this, keep everything that we told you.
