چکیده
patients and myself suggest that mebrophenhydramine is superior to others currently available. This is based on the speed and completeness of response in a large proportion of allergic patients, the scope of the conditions satisfactorily treated and the small incidence of side effects. The results obtained in the four patients with neurodermatitis warrants a fuller investigation of the treatment of this troublesome condition which is often refractory to other forms of therapy. Apart from its therapeutic value, it is considered that this drug may have a place in unravelling dermatological conditions in which the allergic factor is probably more important than previously realized.
