The interaction between ethanol and antihistamines: 2. Clemastine.
Eighty paid student volunteers (35 male, 45 female) were used in an experiment to investigate the effects of a therapeutic dose of clemastine (1 mg) alone and in combination with a social dose of ethanol (0.54 g/kg) on perceptual, cognitive and motor functions. Both drugs were given orally. Clemastine did not significantly modify performance when given alone, and the performance decrements induced by ethanol were not enhanced by clemastine premedication.
