Fenkarol is an effective antihistamine drug.

The drugs Fenkarol-Olaine, Hifenadine are full analogues of Fenkarol.

Release form and composition of the drug Fenkarol

Fenkarol is available in the following dosage forms:

in the form of round biconvex tablets 10 mg, 25 mg

One tablet of the medication contains 10 (25) mg of hifenadine hydrochloride. Other components: potato starch, sucrose, calcium stearate.

One sachet of powder contains 10 mg of hifenadine hydrochloride. Additional components: mannitol, aspartame, citric acid, orange durarom flavoring, peach durarom flavoring agent.

pharmachologic effect

Reviews of Fenkarol confirm that this drug has an antiexudative, antipruritic, desensitizing and antiallergic effect. Hifenadine, by blocking H1-histamine receptors, reduces the effect of histamine on vascular permeability. In addition, hifenadine significantly reduces the hypotensive effect of histamine and weakens its spasmogenic effect on the smooth muscles of the intestines and bronchi.

The drug has a number of advantages over other antihistamines: this medication does not have adrenolytic and anticholinergic effects. That is why Fenkarol can be used in treatment by patients who cannot tolerate anticholinergic antihistamines. This drug practically does not cause lethargy and drowsiness (like diphenhydramine or diprazine), is slightly lipophilic, has low toxicity and practically does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier. The drug not only blocks H1 receptors, but also reduces the level of histamine, increasing the activity of diamine oxidase, an enzyme that breaks down about 30% of endogenous histamine.

There are reviews of Fenkarol as a drug that significantly reduces the manifestations of arrhythmia.

Half an hour after taking 45% of the drug from the gastrointestinal tract enters the blood plasma and begins to act in the tissues of the body. An hour after administration, the maximum concentration of the drug in the blood plasma is reached. The breakdown process of Fenkarol takes place in the liver. The metabolites of the drug are excreted in the bile, urine, as well as through the lungs and intestines for 48 hours.
