Antihistamine drugs are a class of medications that are used to treat symptoms of allergies, such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes. These drugs work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that is released during an allergic reaction. There are two main types of antihistamines: First-generation antihistamines and second-generation antihistamine. Antihistamines are available over-the-counter and by prescription, depending on the specific medication and its strength. They come in various forms, including tablets, capsules, liquids, nasal sprays, and eye drops.
Market Dynamics:
The antihistamine drugs market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rise in the prevalence of allergies coupled, new product launches and approvals of innovative formulations. For instance, in June 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a nasal antihistamine for nonprescription use through a process known as a partial prescription to nonprescription switch. The U.S. FDA approved Astepro (azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray, 0.15%) for seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis (also known as allergies) in adults and children aged six and older.
