Generalized anaphylaxis may be quickly controlled with the use of antihistamines.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generalized anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. It requires immediate treatment with epinephrine (adrenaline), which helps to open the airways and raise the blood pressure. Antihistamines may also be used as a secondary treatment to help relieve symptoms such as itching and hives, but they do not control or stop the allergic reaction itself. Therefore, antihistamines alone cannot quickly control generalized anaphylaxis.
