Antihistamines, H2

"Histamine H2-receptor antagonists, also known as H2-blockers, are drugs that relieve stomach indigestion. <br><br>
Histamine aids in digestion and is triggered when food enters the digestive tract. When histamine activates H2 receptors, acidic juices are made that break down food in the stomach.<br><br>
