An unusual case of urticaria -- cause and therapy.
A case is reported of a female patient who took 140 tablets of the antihistamine, mebhydrolin ('Fabahistin'), in one day for urticaria and experienced virtually no side effects. The urticaria cleared completely when her husband, who had a cardiac condition, died suddenly.
