Some antihistamines used in the treatment of asthma, hay fever, motion sickness andhives may cross react with EDD. You may have a general skin reaction to theseantihistamine drugs as well as to aminophylline drugs used for asthma which maycontain EDD as an impurity.
Rarely, a few individuals with ethylenediamine allergies may develop skin reactions tosome piperazine-related drugs, including some antihistamines. Talk to your doctor if youhave any reactions to these medications.
