Treatment of this inanimate form (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antihistamine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'treatment' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'this inanimate form' is the wordplay.
'form' indicates an anagram (a different form of the same letters).
'this'+'inanimate'='thisinanimate'
'thisinanimate' with letters rearranged gives 'ANTIHISTAMINE'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for antihistamine that I've seen before include "Allergy drug" , "Drug treating allergies" , "Hay fever treatment" , "Medicine used to treat allergies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
