Headache
Somnolence: This is a fancy term for feeling drowsy or sleepy.
Dizziness
Fatigue
Nausea
Dry mouth
Pharyngitis: This refers to a sore throat or throat pain.
Diarrhoea

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Bilaford-M Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Consume a lot of healthy fluids to stay hydrated.
Nausea: Stick to the diet recommended by your doctor.

Bilaford-M Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Bilastine (20 mg): This non-sedating H1 antihistamine connects to histamine H1 receptors in your body. It blocks the allergic reactions caused by histamine like itching, sneezing, runny nose and hives.
Montelukast (10 mg): As a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist, montelukast binds to the CysLT1 receptor which inhibits cysteinyl leukotrienes. These leukotrienes cause inflammation in the airways leading to symptoms like wheezing and breathlessness. By blocking them, montelukast reduces inflammation.

The combination of these two components enhances relief from symptoms of allergic rhinitis and urticaria compared to either component used individually. Bilastine provides quick relief from symptoms while montelukast has prolonged action.
