Detailed Solution

Drugs which interfere with the natural action of histamine by competing with histamine are called antihistamines because they act by binding to the histamine receptors in the body, thereby blocking the histamine response.
Histamine is a chemical that is released by the immune system in response to an allergen, causing the symptoms of an allergic reaction such as itching, swelling, runny nose, and sneezing.
Antihistamines work by preventing histamine from binding to the histamine receptors, thereby reducing the symptoms of an allergic reaction.
The prefix "anti" means "against" or "opposing", and "histamine" refers to the chemical compound that triggers an allergic response, hence the name antihistamines.
