Abstract
Patients (23) with chronic urticaria were treated with cinnarizine, dexchlorpheniramine and placebo in a double-blind crossover trial. Compared to placebo treatment both cinnarizine and dexchlorpheniramine caused a statistically significant improvement in the clinical symptoms (P < 0.01). The 2 active drugs were equally effective, but cinnarizine was better tolerated. Both drugs appear to be useful in the treatment of chronic urticaria.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
