Abstracts

EN

Second generation antihistamines have been commonly used in treatment of allergic disorders for decades, especially in allergic rhinitis, urticaria, atopic dermatitis and allergic conjunctivitis. They are frequently used in everyday clinical practice, mainly because of high efficacy and excellent safety profile. In allergic disorders we use the potency of antihistamines to bind to histamine receptors, while in other diseases we use them because of their possible anti‑inflammatory mechanisms. Antihistamines are usually administered in monotherapy, however, in some cases we combine them with other agents. Certain antihistamines drugs have similar mechanisms of action, however, we can find distinct differences between the drugs. This is the reason why in case of no significant clinical improvement it is possible to add one antihistamine drug to another in order to enhance efficacy, it is also possible to increase a single therapeutic dose even up to four times. These observations based on clinical experience are the reason why it is necessary to conduct further studies on schemes of antihistamines drugs’ administration. In the article frequently used drugs are presented, especially their clinical efficacy and safety. Results of chosen clinical trials are also reported. Some controversial topics are mentioned, especially combined use of certain drugs and the possibility of applying higher daily doses.

Leki przeciwhistaminowe II generacji stosowane są od wielu lat w leczeniu chorób alergicznych, szczególnie alergicznego nieżytu nosa, pokrzywki, atopowego zapalenia skóry i alergicznego zapalenia spojówek. Należą do najczęściej przepisywanych leków w codziennej praktyce lekarskiej, głównie ze względu na wysoką skuteczność terapeutyczną i dobry profil bezpieczeństwa. W chorobach alergicznych istotny jest ich efekt wiązania z receptorami histaminowymi, natomiast w innych jednostkach opieramy się na własnym doświadczeniu i wykorzystujemy ich potencjalne działanie przeciwzapalne. Leki przeciwhistaminowe często stosowane są w monoterapii, niekiedy w skojarzeniu z innymi lekami. Poszczególne leki, mimo że mechanizm ich działania jest podobny, nieznacznie różnią się od siebie. Z tego względu przy braku efektu klinicznego zawsze warto zamienić lek antyhistaminowy na inny lub dołączyć inny preparat w dowolnym schemacie. Można również manipulować dawkami, podwyższając je nawet czterokrotnie w stosunku do dawek zarejestrowanych. Chociaż leki przeciwhistaminowe stosuje się od wielu lat, konieczne są zatem dalsze badania, mające na celu optymalizację schematów postępowania, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem łączenia poszczególnych preparatów i stosowania zróżnicowanych dawek. W artykule omówiono najczęściej stosowane leki przeciwhistaminowe, ich skuteczność terapeutyczną i bezpieczeństwo ich stosowania. Przedstawiono wyniki wybranych badań klinicznych oraz poruszono zagadnienia kontrowersyjne, takie jak łączenie oraz stosowanie poszczególnych preparatów w wyższych dawkach dziennych.
