BILAZEST 20 TAB

About

Bilazest 20 mg contains Bilastine, a highly selective, non-sedating, second-generation H1-antihistamine. It is specifically designed to provide effective relief from the symptoms of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and urticaria. Bilastine works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction. By binding to H1 receptors, it prevents histamine from causing symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, watery eyes, and skin rashes or hives. Its rapid onset of action and long duration of effect allow for once-daily dosing, offering sustained symptom control. Unlike some older antihistamines, Bilastine has minimal penetration into the central nervous system, which contributes to its non-sedating profile, making it suitable for daily use without impairing cognitive function or driving ability. This makes it a valuable option for patients seeking effective allergy relief with a favorable safety profile.
