If you are talking about pregnancy risk classification, they fall into different levels. They are not controlled substances.

Antihystamines are "Immunological drugs". They act on allergy,asthma,etc. They are classified as
H 1 receptor blockers , and H 2 receptor blockers.
H 1 blockers are mostly used in colds urticaria and other skin conditions. H 2 blockers prevent hyper secretion of gastric juice by their blockage of 2 receptors.
