AB  - Antihistamines  (H1  receptor  antagonists)  are  commonly  found  in  over-the-counter  and  prescription  medications  used  for  motion  sickness,  control  of  allergy-related  itching,  and  cough  and  cold  palliation  and  used  as  sleep  aids  (Table  II–9).  Acute  intoxication  with  antihistamines  results  in  symptoms  very  similar  to  those  of  anticholinergic  poisoning.  H2  receptor  blockers  (cimetidine,  ranitidine,  and  famotidine)  inhibit  gastric  acid  secretion  but  otherwise  share  no  effects  with  H1  agents,  do  not  produce  significant  intoxication,  and  are  not  discussed  here.  Common  combination  products  containing  antihistamines  include  Actifed,  Allerest,  Contac,  Coricidin,  Dimetapp,  Dristan,  Drixoral,  Excedrin  PM,  Nyquil,  Nytol,  Pamprin,  PediaCare,  Tavist,  Triaminic,  Triaminicol,  Unisom  Dual  Relief  Formula,  and  Vicks  Pediatric  Formula  44.
