Anti-allergic antihistamines market research

This research analyzes Petrozavodsk anti-allergic antihistamines' market taking into account both the trade names and international unlicensed names, the main pharmacological characteristics, drug-producing countries, and retail average prices. 86 physicians completed anonymous questionnaires to assess antihistamines' administration frequency. The research showed that first- and second-generation antihistamines are administered more often due to their low price. It was revealed that the cost of one-day treatment with the third-generation antihistamines is lower than the treatment with the first- and second-generation drugs, because the last ones have more side effects and lower antihistaminic activity. Therefore, physicians should be more informed about the cost of treatment with antihistamines belonging to different generation.
