Misuse of Antihistamine Drugs May Be Exceedinqly Danqerous

By HERMAN N. MJNDESEN, M.D. THE public should- be warned that antihistaniine drugs can be dapgerous, even deadly poisons, if misused or used to excess. And this mainly happens when people do not seek the advice of their doctors before using such drugs. Antihistamines have become fairly popular lately in the relief of allergies, hay fever, hives, eczemas. asthma, etc. Thpugh much publicized for colds, they do not seem especially helpful against this common complaint. , | Large Poses Dangerous 1 Some people, however, have 1 been foolish enough to think a larger dose would help more than a small one, and they have been severely poisoned. Children, as well as adults, have also been poisoned by accidental overdoses. A heavy dose of an antihistamine inay create a condition of _ extreme excitement, and the person may have hallucinations— Imagines he sees things not really there. He has difficulty in walking and co-ordinating his movements. His face usually becomes flushed, and he may run a fever. These drugs are especially dangerous because they do not irritate the stomach or make a person nauseous, as do other drugs. Thus, he does not vomit them, and has no warning that he has taken a dangerbus dose. 9 Coma, Then Death As the poison affects the system. it brings on convulsions.

For safety’s sake, It is best not to take antihistamines unless they arh prescribed by a physician. The doetpr will determine just how much his patient can iake, and will change the dosage as soon as there are any signs ol a bad reaction. Out of Children’s Reach Parents are especially warned to keep these drugs away from the reach of children. If a child does take an overdose, his stomach should 'be emptied, immediately. This calls for prompt, action by parents apd physician. I Once the drug has entered the system, the doctor may have to control its effects with heavy doses of sedatives and stimulahts. -It is certainly better to take Uh ounce of prevention around youngsters, and extra care should be taken by everyone using the drugs.

Answer: Most physicians, pt the present time, are of the opinior that surgery Is definitely indicated in cases of ulcers of the stomach that do not respond tc medical treatment.
