Category: Histamine H1 Antagonists, Anti-Allergic Agents
CAS number: 486-12-4
Pharmacology
Indication: For the symptomatic relief of seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis or nonallergic rhinitis; allergic conjunctivitis; and mild, uncomplicated allergic skin manifestations of urticaria and angioedema. Also used in combination with other agents for the symptomatic relief of symptoms associated with the common cold.
Pharmacology:
In allergic reactions an allergen interacts with and cross-links surface IgE antibodies on mast cells and basophils. Once the mast cell-antibody-antigen complex is formed, a complex series of events occurs that eventually leads to cell-degranulation and the release of histamine (and other chemical mediators) from the mast cell or basophil. Once rel...

Mechanism of Action: Triprolidine binds to the histamine H1 receptor. This blocks the action of endogenous histamine, which subsequently leads to temporary relief of the negative symptoms brought on by histamine.
Absorption: Rapidly absorbed in the intestinal tract.
Half Life: 4 to 6 hours.
Toxicity: Symptoms of overdose include drowsiness, weakness, inco-ordination, difficulty with micturition, respiratory depression, hypotension, agitation, irritability, convulsions, hypertension, palpitation and tachycardia.
Affected organisms: Humans and other mammals
Interactions
Drug interaction:
SertralineThe CNS depressants, Triprolidine and Sertraline, may increase adverse/toxic effects due to additivity. Monitor for increased CNS depressant effects during concomitant therapy.
NortriptylineTriprolidine and Nortriptyline, two anticholinergics, may cause additive anticholinergic effects and enhance their adverse/toxic effects. Additive CNS depressant effects may also occur. Monitor for enhanced anticholinergic and CNS depressant effects.
PentobarbitalThe CNS depressants, Triprolidine and Pentobarbital, may increase adverse/toxic effects due to additivity. Monitor for increased CNS depressant effects during concomitant therapy.
MethylscopolamineTriprolidine and Methylscopolamine, two anticholinergics, may cause additive anticholinergic effects and enhance their adverse/toxic effects. Monitor for enhanced anticholinergic effects.
TrazodoneThe CNS depressants, Triprolidine and Trazodone, may increase adverse/toxic effects due to additivity. Monitor for increased CNS depressant effects during concomitant therapy.
