Pharmacology

Pyrrobutamine is an antihistamine, which means it works by blocking the action of histamine in the body. Histamine is a substance that the body produces when it is exposed to an allergen, and it is responsible for many of the symptoms of an allergic reaction. By blocking the action of histamine, pyrrobutamine can help to relieve these symptoms.
