Ebast

Uses
Ebast (Ebastine) is indicated for hay fever (perennial or seasonal allergic rhinitis), idiopathic chronic urticaria (hives) and atopic dermatitis (a type of eczema). In addition to this, some people have used it for asthma or certain autoimmune diseases. This medicine is a type of second generation H1 antihistamine which is considered to be non-drowsy. When ingested, it is converted into carebastine, its active metabolite. It works by inhibiting histamine, which in turn helps to provide relief from allergies and symptoms of the conditions listed here.

Dosage and Administration
The medicine content for each Ebast (Ebastine) tablet is 10mg. Patients will need to consult their doctor, so that a suitable and appropriate dosage can be determined. Doctors have sometimes instructed patients who are treating allergic rhinitis or chronic idiopathic urticaria to take 10mg (equal to one tablet) per day. The tablets are administered orally and it is possible to take the medicine either with or without food. However, patients must never adjust their dosage or take more than the amount their doctor tells them to take.

Side effects
It is possible that patients taking Ebast (Ebastine) for hay fever or any other conditions may notice side effects, such as:

• Headaches
• Dyspepsia
• Feeling drowsy
• Dryness in the mouth
• Pain affecting the abdomen

You will need to inform your doctor if any bothersome side effects occur while taking this medicine. Although rare, there is a possibility of dangerous side effects occurring. You will need medical attention immediately should this occur.

Precautions
Although this medicine is considered to be a non-sedative antihistamine, it is still possible that a small number of individuals who take this medicine may experience drowsiness. Do not drive or perform potentially dangerous tasks if this occurs.

This drug may increase the sedative effects of alcohol.

Seek immediate emergency medical attention if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms to watch for, which may be indicative of a reaction, include skin rashes, hives, swelling of the face or limbs, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.

Always use Ebast (Ebastine) as you have been prescribed by your doctor. Never self-medicate or change your dosage without first consulting your doctor. The correct dosage can vary depending on your health, medical history, and the severity of the condition being treated.
