Brief Answer:
They normally treat allergic reactions
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Histamine is a chemical that is produced in the body as part of its inflammatory response. It is released when a person is having an allergic reaction.
Antihistamines work against histamine and are normally used to fight/treat allergic reactions.
They can cause drowsiness, so persons have to be careful if using other meds that also cause drowsiness eg codeine, sleep medications, muscle relaxants.
Hope I have answered your query.
