Indications & Uses
Pemilast is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Pemirolast works by attaching to histamine H1 receptors, blocking the action of the body's own histamine and easing the uncomfortable symptoms it causes. The medicine also curbs the entry of calcium ions into mast cells that would otherwise be triggered by an allergen, by closing off calcium channels. It further stops eosinophils from migrating into eye tissue and keeps these cells from releasing inflammatory substances there.
