Q

TABLE 189-1
Basic Pharmacology of Antihistamines

Fill in the blanks

_____ antihistamines are _____ agonists that reversibly bind and stabilize the inactive form of the histamine receptor, thereby favoring the inactive state.

A

Both H1 and H2 antihistamines are inverse agonists that reversibly bind and stabilize the inactive form of the histamine receptor, thereby favoring the inactive state.
