From the start of the Astemizole clinical investigations, until now the results of 39 trials including more than 2300 patients are available. These results show that Astemizole is an effective and safe Histamine-H1-antagonist for the therapy of hayfever, chronic allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, chronic urticaria and allergic bronchitis in adults and children. Astemizole was superior to placebo and the classical antihistamines like Clemastine, Terfenadine, Ketotifen, Mequitazine, pheniramine and Chlorphenamine.
