by Reisman, R. E.
To the Editor: In the review of insect stings by Reisman (Aug. 25 issue),1 I wonder why there was no reference to H2-receptor antagonists such as cimetidine and ranitidine in the discussion of prophylactic treatment and treatment of local and systemic reactions to insect stings. There is considerable interest in the use of a combination of H1- and H2-receptor antagonists to block the effects of histamine (and perhaps other mediators) on the vascular system. Could Reisman comment on the role of H2 antagonists in the treatment of insect stings?
