Antihistamines can also help, particularly in allergic patients, but may not be a good idea for many asthmatics owing to the risk of drying up the bronchial secretions. For this reason, high-dose muscarinic receptor antagonist drugs should be cautiously used to increase heart rate and decrease bronchial secretion and salivation with pyridostigmine treatment.
