Thanks for sharing the exciting information and article, @lilacs777 & @triciaot !

This is indeed very exciting research finding; however, according to one article published by Harvard Health Publishing Staff in 2022, it had the following warning:

"A report published in JAMA Internal Medicine several years ago highlighted a link between long-term use of anticholinergic medications like Benadryl and dementia... Anticholinergic drugs include some antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, medications..."

I am not a healthcare professional, so I have very limited medical knowledge, of course; but I think we need to treat this exciting correlation between taking Antihistamines and BC survival with caution. For as I grow older, I fear the disease of dementia even more than BC:(.

Best wishes to you all!

I used to take ceterizine the generic for Zertec. I also read about the possibility of it raising your chances of dementia. So I stopped using it and have more sinus issues. I wish I knew for sure it wouldn't cause dementia. I stopped Exemestane and Anestrozole due to unbearable side effects. My body hates most medications and rebells by giving me facial hives and body aches. I'm going to do more research.
