RichGotsPots Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Has anyone heard of it or better yet taken it? How was it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupatadine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoozlyGirl Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Sounds promising, especially due to antiplatelet-activating factor (PAF) properties, Any idea when it could be available in the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichGotsPots Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 No idea.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Doing a bit of research, it looks like Ginkgo contains compounds that are Platelet-Activating Factor Antagonists. This may be the next best thing to try, since the aformentioned drug is not available in the US.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I was looking this up also and found that ginger and turmeric are also listed as PAF herbals. Some people have found that turmeric is helping mast cell issues and it helps with pain. I have recently gone back on these two herbs and I do find that they are helping me. There are several discussions that go back over the last two years on turmeric - if anyone wants to do a search. (There are some people that say turmeric made them feel worse. Others felt like it helped.)Overall the most talked about herbal for this is as ZAP said - ginkgo. Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichGotsPots Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Zap- I noticed the same thing about ginko, they separate a pat out of ginko and concentrate it so not sure how affective regular ginko is in comparison... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
