Antihistamines are anti allergy medications. Antacids, on the other hand, are not antihistamines. As a result, they can't be used interchangeably. Anti allergic medicines, often known as antihistamines, are used to treat allergic responses, which are caused by the release of histamine in the body. Acidity in the stomach is treated with antacids. Antacids, such as sodium bicarbonate, magnesium and aluminium hydroxide can be used to neutralise the excess acid.
