Antihistamines are drugs that inhibit the action of histamine in the body by blocking the receptors of histamine. There are two types of histamine receptors H1 and H2. Ranitidine is in a group of drugs called histamine-2 blockers.
Ranitidine works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces.
Brompheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.It is used to treat runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.
