TY - JOUR AU - Kamei, Junzo AU - Nakanishi, Yuki AU - Asato, Megumi AU - Ikeda, Hiroko PY - 2013 DA - 2013/02/01 TI - Fentanyl enhances the excitability of rapidly adapting receptors to cause cough via the enhancement of histamine release in the airways JO - Cough SP - 3 VL - 9 IS - 1 AB - Although the mechanism of fentanyl-induced cough is unclear, several lines of evidence suggest that allergic mediators, such as histamine, may play a role in the production of fentanyl-induced coughs. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of fentanyl on cough sensitivity to inhaled citric acid and on histamine release in BALF in mice.
