Patients often choose bilastine orodispersible tablets because they combine effectiveness with ease of administration, especially for those who have difficulty swallowing traditional tablets.

How Bilastine Orodispersible Tablet Works

The active ingredient, bilastine, is a non-sedating antihistamine. It works by blocking histamine H1 receptors in the body, which are responsible for triggering allergic reactions. This reduces the severity of allergy symptoms without causing drowsiness, allowing you to carry on with your daily activities comfortably.

These tablets act quickly to alleviate symptoms, often within an hour of administration.
