Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of at least one antihistamine agent for the preparation of a medicament for use in the preventive or early treatment of inflammatory syndromes of viral origin, in particular arthritis of the distal joints, more particularly those triggered by togaviruses. The invention also relates to a combination product of at least one antihistamine agent and of at least one antiserotonin agent for its simultaneous, separate or sequential use in preventive or early therapy for inflammatory syndromes of viral origin, in particular arthritis of the distal joints, more particularly those triggered by togaviruses.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of 10-[(3R)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-ylmethyl]-10H-phenothiazine as well as its pharmaceutically acceptable salts for the preparation of a drug having the particularity of treating or preventing urinary incontinence, by local and/or oral route.

Abstract: The present application relates to the use of 10-[(3R)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-ylmethyl]-10H-phenothiazine, 10-[(3S)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-ylmethyl]-10H-phenothiazine or 10-[(3R,3S)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-ylmethyl]-10H-phenothiazine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to prepare a drug to prevent or treat pathologies involving histamine H4 receptor.
