Antimastocytotic

An antimastocytotic agent is a medication that is used to reduce the number of mast cells in the body. Mast cells are responsible for the production of histamine, a chemical that can cause allergic reactions. An antimastocytotic agent works by inhibiting the activity of the mast cells, resulting in a decrease in histamine production. This can reduce the severity of allergic reactions, such as sneezing, itching, and swelling. Antimastocytotic agents can also be used to treat certain autoimmune disorders, such as asthma, chronic urticaria, and anaphylaxis.
