₹134.85
Bilastine 20mg and Montelukast 10mg is a prescription combination medication used to treat allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and asthma symptoms.
Key Uses
This combination is typically prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to control symptoms.
- Allergic Rhinitis: Relieves symptoms like sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, nasal congestion, and itchy or watery eyes caused by seasonal or perennial allergies.
- Asthma Management: Helps to prevent and manage asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, by reducing inflammation in the airways.
- Chronic Urticaria (Hives): Can be used to treat itchy skin rashes and swelling associated with hives.
How It Works
The medication combines two different active ingredients to target multiple pathways of allergic reactions:
- Bilastine (20mg): A second-generation antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, a chemical messenger responsible for immediate allergy symptoms like itching and sneezing. It is known for having a potent effect with minimal sedation.
- Montelukast (10mg): A leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks the action of leukotrienes, inflammatory chemicals that cause inflammation, swelling, and mucus production in the airways.
Important Considerations
- Administration: It is usually recommended to take the tablet once daily on an empty stomach, at least one hour before a meal or two hours after eating, as food and fruit juices (especially grapefruit, orange, and apple juice) can reduce the effectiveness of Bilastine.
- Side Effects: Common side effects can include headache, drowsiness/fatigue, dizziness, abdominal pain, and nausea.
- Precautions:
- Consult a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have liver or kidney problems.
- Avoid alcohol consumption, as it may increase drowsiness.
- Mood Changes: Montelukast has been associated with rare instances of mood or behavior changes (e.g., depression, aggressive behavior, self-harming thoughts). Seek immediate medical help if you notice such symptoms.
- Allergy Tests: Stop taking the medication at least three days before an allergy test, as it can affect the results.
- Age Restriction: This combination is generally not recommended for children under 12 years of age.
Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping any medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your specific health condition.
