Select the correct statements.

  1. ARanitidine is an H2 receptor antagonist
  2. BTerfenadine is used to reduce the secretion of stomach acid
  3. CBrompheniramine counteracts the allergic effects of histamine
  4. DHistamine stimulates the release of pepsin and hydrochloric acid in the stomach

Answer: A, C, D

Histamine promotes acid and pepsin secretion, which ranitidine reduces by blocking H2 receptors. Brompheniramine and terfenadine are H1 antagonists used against allergy, not against acidity.
