The effect of complete H1 receptor blockade on urticaria pigmentosa was studied in 6 patients. Astemizole 10 mg tds was given for 6 weeks to achieve complete H1 receptor blockade and the response measured by change in force-weal response measurements using two different forces on a dermographic stylus and measuring response as weal diameter. Weal and flare reactions to 8 micrograms histamine were completely abolished by the astemizole but dermographic weal-force responses were reduced only by 12-15% indicating that histamine acting at the H1 receptor plays only a small part in the wealing of urticaria pigmentosa.Downloads
