Pimethixene is an antihistamine and anticholinergic of the thioxanthene chemical class that is often^{[citation needed]} used to treat hyperactivity,^[1] anxiety, sleep disorders, and allergy. It is also used for anesthesia and as a bronchodilator (to dilate the bronchi and bronchioles for more airflow).
