Product Overview

• Brand Name: Bilcot-20

• Active Ingredient: Bilastine (20 mg)

• Form: Tablets (10×10 blister pack)

• Therapeutic Class: Second-generation Antihistamine

Clinical Uses

Bilastine is a non-sedating antihistamine used to provide symptomatic relief from allergic conditions, including:

• Allergic Rhinitis: Management of sneezing, itchy nose, nasal congestion, and watery eyes (both seasonal and perennial).

• Allergic Conjunctivitis: Relief from red, itchy, and swollen eyes.

• Urticaria (Hives): Treatment of itchy skin rashes and wheals.

Mechanism of Action

Bilastine works by selectively blocking the H1 receptors in the body. By preventing histamine from binding to these receptors, it stops the allergic response without crossing the blood-brain barrier significantly, which is why it typically does not cause drowsiness.

General Guidance
