    Antihistamines, also known as histamine blockers or H1 receptor antagonists, are medications that help alleviate allergy symptoms by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic reactions. They are commonly used to treat conditions such as hay fever, hives, and other allergic reactions, and can also be effective in managing symptoms of the common cold and motion sickness.
