More Information
Summary:The invention concerns the use of an H1- and/or H2-histamine receptor antagonist for the reduction of intracranial pressure (ICP), in particular for the prevention and treatment of elevated intracranial pressure and/or secondary ischaemia, in particular caused by brain injury, more in particular caused by traumatic (TBI) and non-traumatic brain injury. In particular, the histamine antagonist is selected from the group of acrivastine, alimemazine, antazoline, astemizole, azatadine, azelastine, brompheniramine, buclizine, carbinoxamine, carebastine, cetirizine, chlorcyclizine, chlorpheniramine, cinnarizine, clemastine, clemizole, clocinizine, clonidine, cyclizine, cyproheptadine, descarboethoxyloratidine, dexchlorpheniramine, dimenhydrinate, dimethindene, dimethothiazine, diphenhydramine, diphenylpyraline, doxylamine, ebastine, efletirizine, epinastine, fexofenadine, hydroxyzine, ketotifen, levocabastine, loratidine, meclizine, mequitazine, methdilazine, mianserin, mizolastine, niaprazine, noberastine, norastemizole, oxatomide, oxomemazine, phenbenzamine, pheniramine, picumast, promethazine, pyrilamine, temelastine, terfenadine, trimeprazine, tripelennamine, triprolidine, ranitidine, cimetidine, famotidine, nizatidine, tiotidine, zolantidine, ritanserine, and derivatives thereof and mixtures of any two or more of the foregoing.
