How Pink Pill 44-329 works

Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that may be used for the treatment of allergies, motion sickness, to help induce sleep, and to relieve symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease.

Diphenhydramine treats allergic-type reactions by blocking histamine-1 (H1) receptors. This prevents histamine from having an effect on the airways, blood vessels, and on the gastrointestinal tract, reversing symptoms such as bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways), rash and itch, and stomach cramps. Pink Pill 44-329 also blocks acetylcholine receptors, sodium channels, and inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, among other effects. These latter effects are responsible for its sedative effects and side effects such as dry mouth.

Diphenhydramine belongs to the class of medicines known as first generation antihistamines. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine of the ethanolamine class.

The Downsides of Pink Pill 44-329
