BILATEZ M TABLET 10'S

How BILATEZ M TABLET 10'S Works

• BILATEZ M Tablet is a combination medication containing bilastine and montelukast. These two active ingredients work together through distinct mechanisms to alleviate allergy symptoms and provide relief from conditions like allergic rhinitis and asthma.
• Bilastine is an antihistamine that selectively blocks the H1 histamine receptor. Histamine is a chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction, leading to symptoms like itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. By blocking the H1 receptor, bilastine prevents histamine from binding to these receptors, thereby reducing or eliminating these allergy symptoms. Bilastine is known for its rapid onset of action and relatively long duration of effect, providing relief for up to 24 hours with a single dose. Unlike some older antihistamines, bilastine 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 inflammatory chemicals that the body releases in response to allergens and other triggers, particularly in the airways. These leukotrienes cause the airways to narrow, produce excess mucus, and become inflamed, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Montelukast works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, preventing them from binding to their receptors in the lungs and airways. This helps to reduce inflammation, open the airways, and ease breathing. Montelukast is particularly effective in managing asthma symptoms and can also help with allergic rhinitis, especially when leukotrienes contribute to the nasal congestion and inflammation.
• When combined, bilastine and montelukast offer a comprehensive approach to managing allergic conditions. Bilastine addresses the immediate histamine-related symptoms, while montelukast targets the underlying inflammatory processes driven by leukotrienes. This dual action helps to provide more complete and sustained relief from allergy and asthma symptoms than either medication could achieve alone. This combination can effectively reduce nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, and airway constriction, improving overall respiratory function and quality of life for individuals with allergic conditions.
• The synergistic effect of bilastine and montelukast makes BILATEZ M Tablet a valuable option for individuals who experience both allergic rhinitis and asthma, or for those whose allergy symptoms are not adequately controlled by antihistamines alone. It is important to use this medication as prescribed by a healthcare professional to ensure its safe and effective use.
