While antacids and antiallergic drugs interfere with the function of histamines, why do these not interfere with the function of each other ?

Specific drugs affect particular receptors. Antacids and anti-allergic drugs work on different receptors. This is the reason why antacids and anti-allergic drugs do not interfere with each other’s functions, but...

Antacids such as sodium hydrogen carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and aluminium hydroxide work by neutralising the excess hydrochloric acid present in the stomach. However, the root cause for the release of...

[Hint : Antihistamines prevent the interaction of histamine with the receptors present in stomach wall and thus lesser amount of HCl is released.]

[Hint : (i) Which reduce or abolish pain. (ii) They are neurologically active drugs used to treat mental diseases. (iii) Drugs used to check pregnancy in women to control birth rate.]

(i) Antacids: These are the chemical substances which neutralize the excess acid and raise the pH to an appropriate level in the stomach. Sodium hydrogen carbonate or a mixture of...

(i) Antacids: Chemical substances which remove excess acid in the stomach and raise the pH to appropriate level, e.g., sodium hydrogencarbonate, a mixture of aluminium and magnesium hydroxide, ranitidine, etc. (ii)...
