BILASTINE contains an ‘anti-histamine/anti-allergic’ medication, primarily used to treat various kinds of allergies. Additionally, BILASTINE also treats hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis), round-the-year dust or pet allergies (perennial allergic rhinitis), and urticaria (swelling, redness, and itchiness of the skin). In short, it helps to relieve the discomfort and unpleasant symptoms that occurred due to allergic conditions, like blocked/runny/itchy nose, red/watery eyes, and skin rashes. It contains bilastine (anti-histamine), which is used to treat allergies as it blocks the effects of a chemical messenger known as ‘histamine,’ which is naturally involved in allergic reactions.
Take BILASTINE as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take BILASTINE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, sore throat, nausea, cold-like nose symptoms (in children), or diarrhea (in children). Most of these side effects of BILASTINE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
You should not take BILASTINE if you are allergic to bilastine, are currently breast-feeding, or have severe kidney failure (creatinine clearance less than 10 ml/min), the problem of urinary retention, and fructose intolerance. Do not give this medicine to children who are less than 12 years of age groups. Check with your doctor if you are taking midodrine to treat low blood pressure and ritonavir for HIV infection
