Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB01071

Mequitazine (PRIMALAN®) is a phenothiazine derivative and a histamine H1-receptor antagonist. It competes with histamine for the normal H1-receptor sites on effector cells of the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels and respiratory tract. It provides effective, temporary relief of sneezing, watery and itchy eyes, and runny nose due to hay fever and other upper respiratory allergies.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: It was concluded that mequitazine is mildly sedating. The effects of mequitazine are comparable to those of other second-generation antihistamines, in that it causes mild driving impairment, particularly at higher doses.

Sample Use Guides

The usual dose for adults is one 5 mg tablet to be taken orally twice a day, although in elderly patients (over 65 years) caution should be used.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
The affinity of mequitazine for H1 receptors in guinea pigs was compared with that of classical sedative antihistamines ((+)-chlorpheniramine and promethazine). In vitro determinations of Ki values of [3H]mepyramine binding in the brain reveal that mequitazine is 15 to 20 times less potent than (+)-chlorpheniramine and promethazine (Ki value was 280 nM, 12 nM and 17 nM, respectively).
