Abstract:
Pheniramine maleate(avil(R)) is a H1-antagonist that is derived from alkylamine. Skin reactions with parenteral administration of avil(R) are uncommon. A 29-year-old woman visited our department with a 3-year history of relapsing generalized multiple pruritic evanescent erythematous wheals after antihistamine and steroid injection. Intradermal skin test with Avil(R) was positive. We treated with 5 mg of mequitazine administration three times a day for 2 years.
