Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Epinastine hydrochloride is a dual H₁‑histamine receptor antagonist and mast‑cell stabilizer. It prevents histamine release and blocks downstream allergic‑inflammation pathways without significant CNS penetration.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in allergic‑inflammation modelling, H₁‑receptor antagonism assays, mast‑cell mediator studies, and ocular‑antiallergy pharmacology.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include headache, ocular irritation (topical forms), dry eyes, and rare hypersensitivity reactions. Handle with antihistamine‑class precautions.
