Pharmacological properties

H1-histamine blocker is an ethanolamine derivative. It has antiallergic and antipruritic effect, reduces vascular permeability, has a sedative and M-anticholinergic effect, does not have hypnotic activity. Prevents the development of vasodilation and smooth muscle contraction induced by histamine. Reduces capillary permeability, inhibits exudation and edema formation, reduces itching. The antihistaminic activity of the drug reaches a maximum after 5-7 hours, lasts for 10-12 hours, and in some cases – up to 24 hours.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, clemastine is almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The maximum plasma concentration is reached after 2-4 hours.

The connection with plasma proteins is 95%. Excretion from plasma is biphasic, the corresponding half-lives are 3.6 ± 0.9 hours and 37 ± 16 hours. Clemastine undergoes significant liver metabolism. Metabolites are mainly (45-65%) excreted through the kidneys in the urine; unchanged active substance is found in urine only in trace amounts. During lactation, a small amount of clemastine may pass into breast milk.
