BILAST M SUSP. 60ML

About

Bilast M Suspension is a combination medication containing Bilastine and Montelukast, designed for the comprehensive management of allergic conditions. Bilastine is a highly selective, non-sedating H1-antihistamine that effectively blocks histamine receptors, thereby reducing symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes associated with allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, works by inhibiting the action of leukotrienes, which are potent inflammatory mediators involved in allergic responses and asthma. This dual action provides superior relief by targeting different pathways of the allergic cascade. The suspension formulation is particularly beneficial for pediatric patients and those who have difficulty swallowing tablets, ensuring accurate dosing and improved compliance for long-term management of chronic allergic conditions and asthma.
