Does antihistamines suppress immune system? i took during vaccination. please clarify
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Anithistamines suppress histamine release - (histamine does create a local immune reaction/response to triggers) but taking an antihistamine won't affect the efficacy of the vaccinations you received or your bodies immune response to the vaccination.
