Blexten Information

Blexten (bilastine) is a second-generation antihistamine used to relieve the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, runny and itchy nose, and watery eyes, as well as symptoms of chronic spontaneous urticaria (hives and itching). Unlike first-generation antihistamines, which can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause significant drowsiness, bilastine is a non-sedating antihistamine. It works by selectively blocking the histamine H1 receptor, preventing the action of histamine, a natural substance in the body that triggers allergic reactions. By inhibiting histamine's effects, it effectively reduces the inflammation and other symptoms associated with allergies.

Bilastine is a newer generation H1-receptor antagonist with a specific mechanism of action that makes it highly effective and generally well-tolerated. It has a high affinity for the H1 receptor and a rapid onset of action, with effects often noticed within an hour. For optimal effectiveness, it is crucial to take Blexten on an empty stomach. Food, and especially fruit juices like grapefruit juice, can significantly reduce the absorption of the medication, which can lead to a decrease in its efficacy. Therefore, it is recommended to take the tablet with water either one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal. Blexten provides 24-hour relief, making a once-daily dose sufficient for most patients.
