Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I researched Seldane after you recommended it and this is what I found: http://www.adrugrecall.com/seldane/seldane.html " Seldane Seldane was available in 1985 as the first prescription antihistamine to relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis without causing drowsiness. After Seldane was approved the FDA began receiving reports of fatal and serious instances of cardiac arrhythmias. These dangerous cases of Seldane complications occurred when Seldane was taken in combination with erythromycin or ketoconozole because it would cause the Seldane to build up in the blood, resulting in serious cardiac side effects. The FDA issued warnings, label changes, and " Dear Doctor " letters to inform physicians prescribing Seldane and patients using Seldane of the dangers of the drug. Due to the availability of alternative drug therapy, the FDA announced in January 1997 that Seldane would be withdrawn from the market. If you would like more information on Seldane please contact us. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
