Bilast Tablet 10 contains one active ingredient: bilastine (20 mg). Here's how this component works:

• Histamine H1 Receptor Antagonism: Bilastine acts as an antagonist to the histamine H1 receptor in your body. By binding to these receptors, bilastine inhibits histamine, a chemical messenger released during allergic reactions.

• Reduction of Allergic Symptoms: Blocking the action of histamine prevents the activation of H1 receptors on cells in your nose, eyes, skin, and blood vessels. This action reduces inflammation and itching associated with allergies.

• Non-sedative Effect: Unlike some antihistamines, bilastine does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier. This means it minimises sedative effects often associated with allergy medications, allowing you to continue your daily activities without feeling drowsy.

• Store Bilast Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally between 15-30°C.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Keep this medicine out of the reach of children for their safety.

• If you're managing allergic rhinitis with Bilast Tablet 10, try to avoid allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander in your environment. Regular vacuuming and air filtering can help minimise exposure.

• For those using Bilast Tablet 10 for chronic hives, it's beneficial to avoid known triggers such as certain foods or medicines. Keep a diary of food intake and outbreaks to identify possible correlations.
