Clemastine

• Clemastine is available by prescription only.

• Clemastine is an antihistamine used to treat allergies and allergic reactions in dogs and cats.

• Clemastine slows down the spread of inflammation and itchiness by preventing histamines from binding to histamine receptors.

• Since the histamines cannot bind to the receptors, the blood vessels start to constrict.

• As the blood vessels get smaller, blood flow slows down, thus slowing the spread of histamines throughout the body.
