Antihistamines competitively antagonize histamine at the H 1 receptor site. Thus, activation of H 1 receptors by released histamine is prevented, resulting in increased vascular permeability and increased mucus production. Pruritus and sneezing are reduced. Methscopolamine Nitrate is a quaternary ammonium derivative of the anticholinergic scopolamine which possesses the peripheral actions of the belladonna alkaloids, but does not exhibit the central actions because if its lack of ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. It competitively inhibits the action of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors."],"contraindications":["CONTRAINDICATIONS This product is contraindicated in patients with a hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to chlorpheniramine maleate or methscopolamine nitrate.
