Yes: Antihistamine blocks h1 receptors, while Pepcid (famotidine) blocks h2 receptors, however if u r in doubt of taking any medicine: pls go to any hospital, sit in the er waiting area, adminster the medicine, wait for about an hour, any serious allergic reaction would appear in the 1st hr, god forbids, then u r in the very place u want to be, pls excercise caution with multiple meds as u r on an anticoagulant.

Describe allergy: Antihistamines are traditionally used to treat allergic reactions. I am curious as to what exactly what happens to you in response to specific antihistamines: benadryl, (diphenhydramine) zyrtec, Claritin etc. Pepcid is a medication that inhibits acid production by the stomach and would be helpful for treatment of heartburn, indigestion ( dyspepsia ) , gastitis ( stomach inflammation) or reflux of acid
