Setastine (Loderix) is an antihistamine used to treat allergies and rhinitis.[1][2]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

Setastine acts as a highly selective H1 receptor antagonist.[3] It has no anticholinergic, antiadrenergic, or antiserotonergic effects.

Pharmacokinetics

Setastine penetrates the blood-brain-barrier poorly so it is only mildly sedating compared to related molecules like diphenhydramine.[3]
