Setastine (Loderix) is an antihistamine used to treat allergies and rhinitis.{{cite journal | vauthors = Lantos A, Tóth A, Zsiray M | title = Loderix (setastine) tablets in the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis | journal = Therapia Hungarica | volume = 39 | issue = 1 | pages = 22–24 | year = 1991 | pmid = 1677500 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Hirschberg A, Ribári O, Krasznai M | title = Results obtained with Loderix tablet in chronic rhinitis patients | journal = Therapia Hungarica | volume = 37 | issue = 4 | pages = 202–204 | year = 1989 | pmid = 2576575 }}
Pharmacology
= Pharmacodynamics =
Setastine acts as a highly selective H1 receptor antagonist.{{cite journal | vauthors = Porszász J, Varga F, Porszász KG, Szolscányi J, Barthó L, Petöcz L, Kápolnai L | title = Pharmacology of the new H1-receptor antagonist setastine hydrochloride | journal = Arzneimittel-Forschung | volume = 40 | issue = 12 | pages = 1340–1345 | date = December 1990 | pmid = 1982751 }} It has no anticholinergic, antiadrenergic, or antiserotonergic effects.
= Pharmacokinetics =
Setastine penetrates the blood-brain-barrier poorly so it is only mildly sedating compared to related molecules like diphenhydramine.
