Product Overview
Ebasil is an antihistamine medication containing the active ingredient Ebastin. As a second-generation antihistamine, it effectively alleviates allergy symptoms while minimizing drowsiness. The medication works by selectively blocking H1 histamine receptors, providing relief from common allergic reactions without significant sedative effects, making it ideal for daytime use.
Uses
Ebasil is indicated for:
– Seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
– Allergic conjunctivitis
– Chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives)
It effectively reduces symptoms including nasal congestion, sneezing, pruritus (itching), rhinorrhea (runny nose), and ocular symptoms associated with allergies.
How to Use
Administration guidelines:
1. Take orally with or without food
2. Swallow tablets whole with water
3. For liquid formulation, use provided measuring device
4. Adhere to prescribed dosing schedule
Note: Do not alter tablet form (crush/chew/break) unless directed by healthcare provider.
How it Works
Ebasil exerts its therapeutic effect through:
– Selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonism
– Inhibition of histamine-mediated allergic responses
– Minimal penetration of blood-brain barrier (reducing CNS effects)
This mechanism provides symptomatic relief while maintaining alertness.
