Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)

[SWAlexander]

Medications for the Treatment of MCAS​

Medications, as we mentioned, provide symptom relief and act as a diagnostic tool in the beginning. Some common MCAS medications include:

• Emergency Medications – Adrenaline-based interventions, such as epinephrine (EpiPens) open the airways and work to address anaphylaxis.
• Mast cell stabilizers – Medications, such as ketoifen and sodium cromoglicate, stabilize mast cells and reduce the release of mediators.
• Mediator blockers – Mediator blockers, such as H1 and H2 antihistamines (diphenhydramine, loratadine, ranitidine, or famotidine), anti-leukotrienes, and anti-prostaglandins, help block the effects of mast cell mediators.
• Corticosteroids – Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, help to reduce inflammation.
• Vitamin & Mineral Supplements – Vitamins, such as vitamins C & D, Magnesium, and probiotics contribute to mast cell stabilization, preventing inflammatory responses, and the production, regulation, and breakdown of histamines.
• Omalizumab – This medication blocks the binding of IgE to receptors and helps reduce mast cell reactivity and sensitivity, helping to reduce the risk of anaphylactic reactions.

thanks for posting this nice, succinct, summary type info


is QUERCETIN helpful?

I experience "angiodema": tissue swelling. When I am not on LDN, it's a daily occurrence, comes on around 5 pm. My teeth being pushed out of my palette. Fun stuff.

I don't seem to experience the types of symptoms listed above.

(I was allergic to everything at age 1)

I've found Ketotifen very helpful for my chronic allergies. I take it at night since it's calming.

is QUERCETIN helpful?

I believe quercetin is suitable for preventive measures. However, if a cytokine storm becomes unstoppable, other medications, such as cetirizine, may be necessary to halt the persistent attack. Otherwise, cells may also be affected, or could even have been impacted already.
