Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
H1-receptor antagonist; competes with histamine for H1-receptor sites on effector cells in the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, and respiratory tract, blocking histamine-induced bronchoconstriction, vasodilation, and increased capillary permeability.
Competitive antagonist of histamine H1 receptors; inhibits histamine-mediated vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, and bronchoconstriction in allergic reactions.
2.5 mg orally every 4 to 6 hours as needed; maximum 10 mg per day.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 20-25 hours in healthy adults; may be prolonged in elderly or patients with hepatic impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life approximately 3–4 hours in healthy adults; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 12 hours).
Renal excretion of unchanged drug and metabolites accounts for approximately 60-80% of the administered dose; biliary/fecal elimination comprises the remainder (20-40%).
Renal (primarily as metabolites; ~70% recovered in urine within 24 hours, <5% unchanged). Fecal elimination is minor.
