Ebastine
Uses
Ebastine is known as a non-sedating second generation antihistamine which is used for the treatment of allergic disorders.
How it Works
Ebastine works by acting on histamine and selectively inhibiting the histamine H1 receptors. Histamine causes an immune system response to invading pathogens or allergens (such as pollen or allergic reactions), binding to its receptors triggering allergy symptoms at the affected area. Ebastine acts by selectively inhibiting the H1 histamine receptors therefore preventing histamine from acting on its receptors. Therefore Ebastine helps relieve allergic symptoms.
