Description and Uses

Terfenadine has been used to study the role of histamine in itch related to proteinase-activated receptors (PARs) in mice. Terfenadine has also been used to block histamine receptor type 1 to study the pathogenesis of 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (DNBS)-induced ulcerative colitis in rats.
