While antacids and anti allergic drugs interfere with the function of histamines, why do these not interfere with the function of each other ?
Specific drugs affect particular receptors. Antacids and anti-allergic drugs work on different receptors. This is the reason why antacids and anti-allergic drugs do not interfere with each other's functions, but interfere with the functions of histamines.
