which of the following is not a typical use for antihistamines available over the counter?
○ alleviating sneezing
○ reducing fever
○ relieving itchy eyes
○ treating hives

Explanation:

1. Proton pump inhibitors are a class of medications with a generic name stem of -prazole (e.g., omeprazole, lansoprazole). The other stems correspond to different drug classes: -tidine for H2-receptor antagonists, -setron for antiemetics, -sone for corticosteroids.
2. Over-the-counter antihistamines target histamine-related allergic symptoms: sneezing, itchy eyes, and hives are all allergic reactions they treat. Reducing fever is the primary function of antipyretics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, not antihistamines.

Answer:

1. -prazole
2. Reducing fever
