Indication: For the prevention of itching of the eyes caused by allergies such as hay fever, and allergic conjunctivitis
Pemirolast Potassium is used for the prophylactic treatment of itching of the eye associated with allergic conjunctivitis. Pemirolast Potassium potassium is a mast cell stabilizer that inhibits the in vivo Type I immediate hypersensitivity reaction. Pemirolast Potassium inhibits the antigen-induced release of inflammatory mediators (e.g., histamine, leukotriene C4, D4, E4) from human mast cells. Allergic reactions lead to cell-degranulation and the release of histamine (and other chemical mediators) from the mast cell or basophil. Once released, histamine can react with local or widespread tissues through histamine receptors. Histamine, acting on H1-receptors, produces pruritis and vasodilatation (allowing blood fluids to enter the area to cause swelling). Pemirolast Potassium is a histamine H1 antagonist. It competes with histamine for the normal H1-receptor sites on effector cells of blood vessels to provide effective, temporary relief of watery and itchy eyes.
