BILASTINZ – M TABLET

Description

Bilastin M Tablet is an antiallergic medication that combines two active ingredients: bilastine and montelukast. Bilastine is a non-sedating second-generation H1-antihistamine that works by selectively inhibiting histamine H1 receptors, thereby preventing allergic reactions such as sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. Montelukast, on the other hand, blocks leukotriene receptors, reducing inflammation in the airways and alleviating symptoms of allergic rhinitis and asthma. Together, these components provide effective relief from a wide range of allergic symptoms.
