Go to ask anyone that begins to snort and sniffle when pollen is high and the smell of fresh grass cutter around through the air, and you, I say to antihistamines are a gift from heaven.
Antihistamine medication is used to stop reactions alérgicas.Histaminas body cause liquid to escape from capillaries resulting in swelling, itching and sneezing.
But my beloved antihistamines, which can be obtained without a prescription without a doctor's note over could come with a high price to pay: weight gain.
Writing in the journal obesity, experts found an association between antihistamines and increase of peso.Individuos taking prescription antihistamines were more likely to be obese or overweight, that individuals do not take medications.
In the study, among users of 268 antihistamine, 45% of the participants in the study were overweight, compared with 599 all persons involved in the study, where only 30% has sobrepeso.Los antihistamine users had a higher rate of body weight (BMI) that users not weighing 28 and 31 respectively.
A BMI of 25 to 29 are considered overweight, nothing more is obeso.La obesity starts with a BMI of 30 and up.
However, the researchers involved in this study to urge that the results do not say antihistamines cause weight gain, only that there is an association between weight gain and taking antihistamines.
Other medications can cause weight gain, and I know this first hand with antidepresivos.Algunos experts say that drugs such as Prozac, Lexapro, Paxil, and Zoloft can cause weight gain 10 pounds or more.
