Description

EBASTINE

EBASTINE belongs to the group of medicines called ‘Histamine H1 receptor antagonist’ primarily used to treat allergic conditions like seasonal allergies/hay fever, allergic rhinitis, perennial allergic rhinitis (stuffy nose) and allergic conjunctivitis (eye allergies). Allergy is the response of the body to a foreign substance. 

EBASTINE contains ‘Ebastine’ that works by blocking the effect of histamine (chemical messenger) which is responsible for allergic reactions, thereby providing relief from allergic symptoms such as swelling, itching, rashes, sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes.

You are advised to take EBASTINE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, EBASTINE may cause common side-effects such as dry mouth, headache, and drowsiness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor before taking EBASTINE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor will prescribe EBASTINE only if the benefits outweigh the risks. EBASTINE may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. EBASTINE is not recommended for children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with EBASTINE as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness.
