EBAST M TABLET 10'S

How EBAST M TABLET 10'S Works

• EBAST M TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with allergies and allergic rhinitis. It contains two active ingredients: Ebastine and Montelukast. Each component works through a distinct mechanism to provide comprehensive relief from allergic reactions.
• Ebastine is a second-generation antihistamine that selectively blocks histamine H1 receptors. Histamine is a natural chemical produced by the body during an allergic reaction. When allergens (like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander) enter the body, they trigger the release of histamine, which then binds to H1 receptors in various tissues. This binding leads to common allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes. Ebastine works by preventing histamine from binding to these receptors, effectively reducing or eliminating these symptoms. Unlike older antihistamines, Ebastine is less likely to cause drowsiness because it has a lower tendency to cross the blood-brain barrier.
• Montelukast, on the other hand, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA). Leukotrienes are another group of chemicals released by the body during an allergic reaction, particularly in the airways. They contribute to inflammation, bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways), and mucus production, all of which can lead to symptoms like nasal congestion, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Montelukast works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, specifically by binding to the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLT1) in the lungs and airways. By doing so, it reduces inflammation, relaxes the airways, and decreases mucus production, making it easier to breathe and alleviating nasal congestion.
• In summary, EBAST M TABLET 10'S provides a dual-action approach to allergy relief. Ebastine targets histamine, reducing immediate symptoms like sneezing and itching, while Montelukast targets leukotrienes, addressing inflammation and congestion in the airways. This combination is particularly effective for individuals with both allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and asthma, as it addresses both the upper respiratory symptoms and the lower respiratory inflammation associated with these conditions. The synergistic effect of these two medications results in a more comprehensive and sustained relief from allergy symptoms compared to using either medication alone. Always use this medication as directed by your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and timing.
