Azatadine Explained
Azatadine should not be confused with azetidine.
Azatadine (Optimine) is a first-generation antihistamine and anticholinergic drug that was synthesized in 1963 by Schering-Plough, a former American pharmaceutical company.[1] [2]
It was patented in 1967.[3] It has been succeeded by both loratadine and desloratadine.[4] and marketing approvals have been widely withdrawn.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
