TRISORALEN™ ICN Trioxsalen Melanizing Agent Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Trioxsalen is a synthetic melanizing agent structurally and pharmacologically related to methoxsalen. The normal pigmentation of the skin is due to melanin, which is produced in the cytoplasm of the melanocytes located in the basal layers of the epidermis at its junction with the dermis.

TRINALIN® Schering Azatadine Maleate–Pseudoephedrine Sulfate Antihistamine–Decongestant Action and Clinical Azatadine is an antihistamine, related to cyproheptadine, with antiserotonin, anticholinergic, and sedative effects. Antihistamines appear to compete with histamine for histamine H1-receptor sites on effector cells and antagonize the vasodilator effect of endogenously released histamine. Consequently antihistamines antagonize the physiological manifestations of histamine release in the nose following antigen-antibody interaction, such as congestion related to vascular engorgement, mucosal edema, and profuse,…
