Activity Description

First-generation antihistamines with antiemetic properties through histamine H1-receptor blockade have several indications. With primary indications that include motion sickness and vertigo-induced nausea and vomiting, these agents also exhibit secondary efficacy in addressing allergic rhinitis, insomnia, allergic reactions, and parkinsonism and as antitussive measures. The program outlines the essential aspects of antiemetic H1 receptor blocker use, including indications, contraindications, pharmacological activity, and potential adverse events.

Healthcare professionals participating in this initiative gain a comprehensive understanding of the pharmacological intricacies associated with these agents, empowering them to tailor treatment plans, optimize dosage regimens, and mitigate adverse reactions. This heightened knowledge facilitates informed decision-making in prescribing antiemetic histamine H1 receptor blockers, enabling healthcare professionals to deliver precise, safe, and individualized care, thereby improving patient outcomes in conditions necessitating antiemetic interventions involving H1 receptor blockers.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Evaluate the mechanism of action of H1 receptor blockers.

  • Identify the approved indications for H1 receptor blockers.

  • Assess the potential adverse events related to H1 receptor antagonists.

  • Implement interprofessional team strategies for improving care coordination and communication to advance appropriate clinical outcomes with H1 receptor antagonist therapy to treat nausea and vomiting and drive optimal results.

I don't think the length of the article justifies a 1.0 hour CE credit. More like 0.5 hrs.
