Urticaria (urticaria) is a disease characterized by the appearance on the skin of itchy spots, papules or blisters, quite clearly contoured, ranging in size from a few millimeters to ten or more centimeters. The rash appears quickly, the elements can merge and spread over the entire surface of the body. The elements persist for several hours, then gradually disappear and reappear elsewhere. If urticarial lesions persist for more than 24 hours, a diagnosis of urticarial vasculitis or delayed pressure urticaria should be considered.

In the future, if there is no stabilization of hemodynamic parameters - colloidal solution(reopolyglucin) at a dose of 20 ml/kg. The volume and speed of infusion is determined by the value of blood pressure, central venous pressure and the patient’s condition.

Slide 20

If blood pressure becomes low, alpha-adrenergic agonists are administered intravenously every 10-15 minutes until the condition improves 0.1% adrenaline solution 0.05-0.01 ml/year of life (total dose up to 5 mg) or 0.2 % norepinephrine solution – 0.1 ml/year of life (no more than 1 ml) or 1% mesatone solution 0.1 ml/year of life (no more than 1 ml) If there is no effect - titrated intravenous administration of dopamine at a dose of 8-10 mcg/kg/min under the control of blood pressure and heart rate For bronchospasm and other respiratory disorders: Carrying out oxygen therapy Enter 2 .4% solution of aminophylline 0.5-1 ml/year of life (no more than 10 ml) intravenous bolus in 20 ml saline. solution Remove accumulated secretions from the trachea and oral cavity If stridor breathing appears and there is no effect from complex therapy– immediate intubation, and in some cases, vital signs– conicotomy. Questions that a doctor should ask before prescribing any medicine Does the patient himself or his relatives suffer from any allergic disease? Has the patient previously received this drug, and has he had any allergic reactions to its use? What drugs were the patient treated for a long time and in large doses? Did the patient receive injections of serums and vaccines? Does the patient have mycosis of the skin and nails (athlete's foot, trichophytosis). Does the patient have professional contact with medications? Does it cause exacerbation of the underlying disease or the appearance allergic symptoms contact with animals? Prevention of drug allergies Before prescribing any drug, the doctor must answer the following questions: Is it true? this medicine necessary for the patient What will happen if it is not prescribed What do I want to achieve by prescribing this drug What are its side effects?

Slide 25

Primary prevention prevention of the development of LA: Avoid polypharmacy, doses of drugs should correspond to the age and weight of the patient, strict adherence to the instructions for the method of drug administration. Secondary prevention prevention of LA in people suffering from allergic diseases. Patient education - the doctor gives the patient a leaflet “Passport of a patient with an allergic disease”

Allergic reactions is a consequence of increased sensitivity (sensitization) to various substances that have antigenic properties. Basically, the nature of the allergen remains uncertain, so treatment of patients with allergic reactions is carried out using the method of nonspecific hyposensitization - that is, using drugs that affect allergy processes regardless of the nature of the antigen.

There are 3 stages of development of allergic reactions:

1) immunological - formation of antibodies

2) release of allergy mediators

3) the reaction of organs and systems to these mediators.

Various medications pharmacological groups influence all stages of development of allergic reactions.

- Cromolyn sodium cannot be administered by inhalation together with bromhexine and ambroxol.

facilities

The term “allergy” comes from Greek words allos – different and ergon – work, activity, and literally means “doing differently”. We owe the appearance of this term to the Viennese pediatrician Clement von Pirke. A substance that can cause an allergic reaction is called an allergen.

Allergic diseases are very common and, according to the World Health Organization, affect about 40% of the world's population.

Antihistamines

Histamine, stimulating histamine H1 receptors, is involved in the occurrence of almost all the main symptoms of allergies. Therefore, antihistamines are always used as antiallergic drugs.

By modern classification antihistamines

drugs (H1-histamine blockers) are divided into two groups: 1) H 1 -histamine blockers

I generation, having noticeable sedatives

properties; 2) H1-histamine blockers of the second generation , non-sedating or having a slight sedative effect.

Antihistamines

IN last years developed and implemented in clinical practice advanced H1-histamine blockers, which are pharmacologically active metabolites that lack side effects parent compound: metabolite of the H1-histamine blocker of the first generation hydroxyzine - cetirizine, which rarely has a weak sedative effect; metabolite H1 -

second generation histamine blocker terfenadine - fexofenadine, which does not have sedatives

properties; metabolite of the H1-histamine blocker of the second generation loratadine - desloratadine, rarely

having a mild sedative effect; levorotatory isomer of cetirizine - levocetirizine,

without sedative properties.

Antihistamines

The main side effects of H1 - first generation histamine blockers: blockade of other receptors (for example,m-cholinergic receptors,which manifests itself in the form of dryness of the mucous membrane of the mouth, nose, pharynx, bronchi; urination disorder and visual impairment rarely occur); local anesthetic effect; quinidine-like effect on the heart muscle; effect on the central nervous system (sedation, loss of coordination, dizziness, lethargy, decreased ability to concentrate); increased appetite; disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, discomfort in the epigastrium).

Antihistamines

Advantages of H1 - second generation histamine blockers:

very high specificity and high affinity for H1 receptors;

rapid onset of action; sufficient duration of the main effect (up to 24 hours); absence of blockade of other types of receptors; minor penetration or obstruction of the BBB at therapeutic doses; lack of connection between absorption and food intake; absence of tachyphylaxis.

Antihistamines

The main side effects of H1 - second generation histamine blockers. At therapeutic doses, these drugs have a good safety profile. However, when their metabolism is slowed down by liver enzymes (CYP3A4 of the cytochrome system R-450) occurs

accumulation of unmetabolized parent forms, which leads to violation heart rate (ventricular

fusiform tachycardia, ECG shows prolongation

Q-T interval). This side effect is typical for terfenadine, astemizole and loratadine. Due to cardiotoxic effects, terfenadine and astemizole have been withdrawn from sale in a number of countries.

The effect on the central nervous system of drugs in this group is extremely weak. Sedation is rare and occurs only in individuals with high individual sensitivity to drugs.

INTRODUCTION

Antihistamines are commonly called drugs that block H1 and H2 histamine receptors.

Histamine, this most important mediator of various physiological and pathological processes in the body, was chemically synthesized in 1907. Subsequently, it was isolated from animal and human tissues (Windaus A., Vogt W.). Even later, its functions were determined: gastric secretion, neurotransmitter function in the central nervous system, allergic reactions, inflammation, etc. Almost 20 years later, in 1938, the first substances with antihistamine activity were created (Bovet D, Staub A.). And already in the 60s, the heterogeneity of histamine receptors in the body was proven and three of their subtypes were identified: H1, H2 and NZ, differing in structure, localization and physiological effects that occur during their activation and blockade. From this time on, an active period of synthesis and clinical testing of various antihistamines began.

Numerous studies have shown that histamine, acting on receptors in the respiratory system, eyes and skin, causes characteristic allergy symptoms, and antihistamines that selectively block H1-type receptors are able to prevent and relieve them. Drugs that block H1-histamine receptors are used to treat allergic diseases. Agents that block H2-histamine receptors reduce secretion and are used as antiulcer drugs.

Most of the antihistamines used have a number of specific pharmacological properties that characterize them as a separate group. These include the following effects: antipruritic, decongestant, antispastic, anticholinergic, antiserotonin, sedative and local anesthetic, as well as prevention of histamine-induced bronchospasm. Some of them are caused not by histamine blockade, but by structural features.

1. HISTAMINE

Histamine (Histaminum) (4-(2-Aminoethyl)-imidazole, or -imidazolyl-ethylamine) is a biogenic compound formed in the body by decarboxylation of the amino acid histidine. Histamine is found in mast cells, basophils, and leukocytes.

Histamine is one of the endogenous mediators involved in the regulation of vital functions of the body and plays important role in the pathogenesis of a number of painful conditions.

IN normal conditions histamine is found in the body primarily in a bound, inactive state. For various pathological processes (anaphylactic shock, burns, frostbite, hay fever, urticaria and others allergic diseases), as well as upon entry into the body of certain chemical substances the amount of free histamine increases. In this case, histamine causes spasm of smooth muscles (including bronchial muscles), dilation of blood vessels and a decrease in blood pressure, increased capillary permeability and, as a result, tissue swelling. Histamine causes increased secretion of gastric juice.

With intradermal and subcutaneous administration of histamine, after a few seconds, redness, local swelling, and a feeling of pain and itching develop at the injection site. These symptoms are based on local dilation of capillaries, increased vascular permeability and irritation of sensitive nerve endings.

Histamine is a natural ligand of specific histamine (H) receptors localized in various organs and tissues. There are 3 subtypes of histamine receptors: H1, -, H2, -, H3, receptors.

H1 receptors are localized in the bronchi and intestines (when they are excited, the smooth muscles of these organs contract), in the blood vessels (vasodilation occurs). H2 receptors are located on the parietal cells of the stomach (when stimulated, the secretion of hydrochloric acid increases). The central nervous system contains H1, H2 and H3 receptors. Together with H1 receptors, H2 receptors play a role in the development of allergic and immune reactions. H2 receptors are also involved in the mediation of excitation in the central nervous system.

The first substances with antihistamine activity were created in 1936. In the 60s, a period of active synthesis and clinical testing of various antihistamines began. IN Lately They began to attach great importance to the stimulation of H3 receptors in the mechanism of the central action of histamine, and a search is underway for drugs that activate and inhibit the functions of this group of receptors.

Antihistamines that block H1-histamine receptors are used to treat allergic diseases. Antihistamines that block histamine H2 receptors are used as antiulcer drugs.

2. H1-HISTAMINE RECEPTOR BLOCKERS

Antihistamines that block H1 receptors are used for immediate allergic reactions: urticaria, itching, allergic conjunctivitis, angioedema (Quincke's edema), allergic rhinitis, etc. These drugs block H1 histamine receptors in organs and tissues and make them insensitive to free histamine. They have virtually no effect on the release of free histamine.

Rice. 1. Scheme of development of an immediate allergic reaction and the direction of action of antiallergic drugs.

When foreign substances - antigens - act on the body, the system is activated humoral immunity and antibodies (immunoglobulins E) are formed, which are fixed on mast cells. When this antigen re-enters the body, it interacts with IgE antibodies on the surface mast cells. This causes degranulation of mast cells and the release of mediators of allergy and inflammation from them: histamine, bradykinin, prostaglandins, slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis, etc. As a result of the action of allergy mediators on tissues and organs, allergic reactions develop, which can manifest themselves in the form of bronchospasm, dilation of capillaries and redness of the skin, increased capillary permeability and the development of edema, decreased blood pressure, etc.

Most antihistamines that block H1 receptors, in their own way chemical structure refers to fat-soluble amines that have a similar structure. The core (R1) is represented by an aromatic or heterocyclic group and is linked via a nitrogen, oxygen or carbon molecule to an amino group. The core determines the severity of antihistamine activity and some of the properties of substances.

There are several classifications of antihistamines, although none of them is generally accepted. According to their chemical structure, antihistamines are divided into several groups (ethanolamines, ethylenediamines, alkylamines, derivatives of alphacarboline, quinuclidine, phenothiazine, piperazine and piperidine). The most popular classification is based on the time of creation: first and second generation drugs. First generation drugs are also commonly called sedatives (based on the dominant side effect) in contrast to non-sedating second generation drugs. Currently, it is customary to distinguish the third generation: it includes fundamentally new drugs - active metabolites, which, in addition to the highest antihistamine activity, exhibit the absence of a sedative effect and the cardiotoxic effect characteristic of second-generation drugs.

2.1. FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINES

All first-generation antihistamines (sedatives) are highly soluble in fats and, in addition to H1-histamines, also block cholinergic, muscarinic and serotonin receptors. As competitive blockers, they reversibly bind to H1 receptors, which necessitates the use of fairly high doses. The following pharmacological properties are most characteristic of them:

The sedative effect is determined by the fact that most first-generation antihistamines, easily soluble in lipids, penetrate well through the blood-brain barrier and bind to H1 receptors in the brain. The degree of manifestation of the first generation sedative effect varies between drugs and in different patients from moderate to severe and increases when combined with alcohol and psychotropic drugs. Some of them are used as sleeping pills. Psychomotor agitation rarely occurs (more often in moderate therapeutic doses in children and in high toxic doses in adults). Because of the sedative effect, most medications should not be used while performing tasks that require alertness. All first-generation drugs potentiate the effect of sedatives and hypnotics, narcotic and non-narcotic analgesics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors and alcohol.

Atropine-like reactions (due to the anticholinergic properties of the drugs) are manifested by dry mouth and nasopharynx, urinary retention, constipation, tachycardia and visual disturbances. These properties may be useful for rhinitis, but may increase obstruction respiratory tract with bronchial asthma (due to an increase in sputum viscosity), cause exacerbation of glaucoma and prostate adenoma, etc.

They have antiemetic and anti-sickness effects, reduce the symptoms of parkinsonism - thanks to the central anticholinergic effect of the drugs.

May cause a transient decrease in blood pressure in sensitive individuals.

A local anesthetic (cocaine-like) effect is characteristic of most antihistamines.

Tachyphylaxis (decreased antihistamine activity): with long-term use, medications must be changed every 2-3 weeks.

The therapeutic effect occurs relatively quickly, but is short-lived (effective within 4-5 hours).

Some first-generation antihistamines are included in combination medications used for colds, motion sickness, as sedatives, sleeping pills and other components.

The most commonly used is diphenhydramine , chloropyramine, clemastine, cyproheptadine, promethazine, fencarol and hydroxyzine.

1) Diphenhydramine, best known in our country under the name diphenhydramine.

DIMEDROL (Dimcdrolum).

2-Dimethylaminoethyl ether benzhydrol hydrochloride, or N,N1-dimethyl-2-(diphenylmethoxy)ethylamine hydrochloride:

SYNONYMS: Allergies, Alledryl, Allergan, Allergin, Allergival, Amidryl, Bcnadryl, Benzhydraminum, Diabenyl, Dimedryl, Dimidril, Diphenhydramine, Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Restamin, etc.

White fine-crystalline powder with a bitter taste; causes numbness of the tongue. Hygroscopic. Easily soluble in water, very easily in alcohol.

Diphenhydramine is one of the first antihistamines (first generation drug) that has found widespread use in medical practice since the 1950s. Despite the emergence of a number of new antihistamines, diphenhydramine has not lost its importance to this day.

It is a blocker of histamine H1 receptors and has pronounced antihistamine activity. It has a local anesthetic effect and relaxes smooth muscles. Shows moderate antiemetic effect.

Diphenhydramine is well absorbed when taken orally. Penetrates the blood-brain barrier. An important feature of diphenhydramine is its sedative effect: in appropriate doses it has a hypnotic effect.

Diphenhydramine is used mainly in the treatment of urticaria, hay fever, serum sickness, hemorrhagic vasculitis (capillary toxicosis), vasomotor rhinitis, angioedema, pruritic dermatoses, acute iridocyclitis, allergic conjunctivitis and other allergic diseases; allergic complications from taking various medications (including antibiotics), blood transfusions and blood-substituting fluids, and the use of enzyme and other drugs.

Solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration 1 ml

  • Solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration 1 ml diphenhydramine 10 mg 1 ml - ampoules

  • Clinical and pharmacological group: 1st generation histamine H1 receptor blocker. Antiallergic drug


  • The effect on the central nervous system is due to the blockade of H3-histamine receptors in the brain and inhibition of central cholinergic structures.

  • -Relieves spasm of smooth muscles

  • -prevents and reduces allergic reactions,

  • - local anesthetics,

  • - antiemetic,

  • -sedative effect,

  • -moderately blocks cholinergic receptors of the autonomic ganglia,

  • -has a hypnotic effect.

  • Antagonism with histamine manifests itself to a greater extent in relation to local vascular reactions during inflammation and allergies than to systemic ones, i.e. decrease in blood pressure. However, when administered parenterally to patients with a deficiency of circulating blood volume, a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in existing hypotension is possible due to the ganglion-blocking effect. In people with local brain damage and epilepsy, it activates (even in low doses) epileptic discharges on the electroencephalogram and can provoke an epileptic attack.

  • The action develops within a few minutes, duration – up to 12 hours.


IV or IM.

  • IV or IM.

  • For adults and children over 14 years of age, IV or IM 1-5 ml (10-50 mg) of a 1% solution (10 mg/ml) 1-3 times a day; the maximum daily dose is 200 mg.

  • Drug interactions

  • Enhances the effect of ethanol and drugs that depress the central nervous system.

  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) enhance the anticholinergic activity of diphenhydramine.

  • Antagonistic interactions are observed when co-administered with psychostimulants.

  • Reduces the effectiveness of apomorphine as an emetic drug in the treatment of poisoning.

  • Enhances the anticholinergic effects of drugs with m-anticholinergic activity

  • Strengthens and prolongs the effect of opiates. It makes them more addictive. It also enhances the effect of depressants such as alcohol, phenobarbital and benzodiazepine drugs.
