Pharmacodynamics

Loratadine tablets for dermatitis perform antipruritic, antiallergic antiexudative function. Pharmacodynamics of the drug is as follows - it inhibits the release of histamine from mast cells, as well as leukotriene C4. Selectively blocks H1-histamine receptors, and also does not allow histamine to affect blood vessels and smooth muscles, reduces the level of capillary permeability, reduces exudation, erythema and itching. The antiallergic effect begins half an hour after taking the tablet, reaches maximum activity after 8-12 hours, and lasts for 24 hours in total. The drug does not affect the central nervous system, does not have a sedative or anticholinergic function.

Allertek tablets are an antiallergic antihistamine drug. They contain cetirizine, which is included in the group of histamine competitor antagonists - it blocks H1-histamine receptors and has almost no antiserotonin and anticholinergic effects. It is capable of performing antiallergic, antiexudative and antipruritic functions. Cetirizine also affects the first stage of allergy, dependent on histamines, reduces the spread of inflammatory cells, inhibits the process of secretion of mediators that appear already in a late allergic reaction. The drug makes capillary permeability less, removes spasms that occur in smooth muscles, prevents the appearance of swelling in tissues. Therapeutic doses do not have a sedative effect on the body. The drug begins to act after 20 minutes (half of patients) or after 1 hour (in 95% of patients). The effect of the effect lasts 24 hours.

Pharmacokinetics

The drug Loratadine is completely and quickly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, reaches TСmax in 1.3-2.5 hours, when taking food, this process can be slowed down by another 1 hour. In elderly people, Cmax becomes 50% higher. The absorption of the drug becomes 40% faster if it is taken with food; the active metabolite also increases by 15%. The connection with plasma proteins is 97%. Css of loratadine, as well as the metabolite in plasma, occurs on the 5th day after administration of the drug. The drug does not pass through the blood-brain barrier.

Tablets for dermatitis Cetirizine are absorbed quite quickly. In plasma, their maximum concentration occurs after 1 hour. The absorption rate is not affected at all by the fact of taking the drug with food, although its speed is slightly reduced - the maximum concentration is reached 1 hour longer. The tablets are metabolized in small quantities, forming a pharmacologically inactive metabolite. This is how they differ from other H1-histamine receptor blockers, which are metabolized in the liver. The drug (60%) is excreted through the kidneys unchanged after 96 hours. Another 10% is excreted through the intestines.

The drug Allertek has the following pharmacokinetics. It is quickly absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, reaching the maximum concentration after half an hour/hour. Food intake does not affect absorption rates, although its rate is slightly reduced. The drug forms an inactive metabolite, since it is poorly metabolized in the liver. It is excreted through the kidneys (about 70%), usually unchanged. With a single dose, half-life occurs in about 10 hours. In 5-6 hours, half-life is eliminated from the body of children 2-12 years old.

Names of tablets for dermatitis

The most effective and popular drugs that help to cope with dermatitis are still antihistamine tablets, which cope well with the external signs of skin diseases, remove irritation and itching, as well as swelling. Such drugs have only one side effect - they cause severe drowsiness.

It is very important to properly and carefully care for your skin, as well as follow a diet - this will help prevent the appearance of the disease or its return.

Using Dermatitis Tablets During Pregnancy

The main task in the process of treating dermatitis is to remove redness and inflammation, as well as reduce itching. It is very important to use medications that are completely safe for the health of both mother and baby. Steroid ointments or creams, as well as moisturizers, are usually used in treatment.

How should dermatitis tablets be used during pregnancy? The doctor prescribes steroid tablets only in extreme cases. Such drugs should be taken for a short period of time and in a small dosage. Prednisolone dermatitis tablets can be prescribed during pregnancy if there is a serious exacerbation.

Women of childbearing age should be advised of the potential risk to their fetus, as corticosteroids can cross the placenta. Newborns whose mothers took corticosteroids during pregnancy should be closely monitored, as there is a risk of adrenal insufficiency in the fetus and newborn.

The medication should not be taken for a long time or in large doses. Breastfeeding women are advised to either not take the drug (especially if large doses are prescribed) or stop breastfeeding. This precaution is due to the fact that corticosteroids can penetrate into breast milk and also suppress the production and growth of endogenous corticosteroids. For a newborn, this can have extremely negative consequences.

Pregnant women suffering from dermatitis note that the drugs recommended to them are not always able to provide the necessary effect. In this case, the difficulty is that the most effective drugs for the treatment of dermatitis during pregnancy should not be taken.
