To investigate the effect of a H1 antagonist epinastine hydrochloride (epinastine; 20mg/day, once daily), we evaluated cough scores, pulmonary function, capsaicin cough threshold, and bronchial hyperresonsiveness to methacholine before and after a 4-week treatment with epinastine. Treatment with epinastine resulted in a marked decrease in persistent cough. It also resulted in a marked improvement in capsaicin cough threshold. These results suggested that epinastine may be useful for treating patients with atopic cough and that histamine HI receptor is related to the pathophysiology of atopic cough.}, pages = {72--77}, title = {A Case of Atopic Cough Successfully Treated with the H1 Antagonist Epinastine Hydrochloride}, volume = {12}, year = {2004} }
