A member asked:
Is it possible to die from an overdose of antihistamine pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Which one: First generation antihistamines are sedating, second generation ones are not, overdosing on the latter hardly kills, but may cause sedation. Overdosing on first generation antihistamines may be more of a problem, but again they are safe in high doses.
