A member asked:
Do antihistamines push you hypo or hyper thyroid?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Neither: Really neither. It will be interesting to know however why the need for anti histamines in the first place as urticaria is common in individuals with autoimmune thyroid disease let it be grave's or hashimoto's disease.

Unlikely: There is no data or documentation that states antihistamines can affect the thyroid in an either up or down manner.
