Bilast M Tablet is a combination prescription medication primarily used to treat allergic rhinitis (commonly known as hay fever) and other allergic conditions. It provides relief from symptoms such as sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, nasal congestion, and general inflammation caused by allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, or mold. This dual-action tablet contains two active ingredients: Bilastine, a non-sedating antihistamine, and Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist. Together, these components help manage allergic symptoms and improve breathing, especially in patients who experience both respiratory and skin-related allergy symptoms.
Uses
- Treatment of Allergic conditions
- Treatment of Allergic rhinitis
Benefits of Bilast M
- Dual action relief: Combines two mechanisms to control both the histamine-related and leukotriene-related allergy pathways
- Eases respiratory symptoms: Reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways, improving breathing and comfort
- Reduces skin and nasal symptoms: Effective for itching, rashes, sneezing, and watery eyes commonly associated with hay fever and allergic skin conditions
- Non-drowsy formulation: Bilastine is a second-generation antihistamine that does not easily cross the blood-brain barrier, so it causes minimal to no drowsiness
- Convenient once-daily dosage: Improves compliance and ensures 24-hour symptom control when taken as directed
How Bilast M Tablet works
Bilast M Tablet contains:
- Bilastine (20 mg): An H1-receptor antagonist that blocks histamine — the chemical responsible for allergy symptoms like itching, swelling, and rashes. It acts quickly and has a long duration of action without sedative effects.
- Montelukast (10 mg): A leukotriene receptor blocker that reduces inflammation by preventing leukotriene binding. This action helps relieve airway tightening and mucus production, common in allergic rhinitis and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.
By targeting two key allergy pathways, Bilast M provides comprehensive symptom control for both upper respiratory and skin-related allergy symptoms.
