BILAN 20MG is Bilastine. Bilastine is a second-generation antihistamine, meaning it is specifically designed to treat allergic reactions without causing drowsiness or sedation. It works by blocking histamine receptors (H1 receptors), which are responsible for many allergic symptoms like itching, sneezing, and swelling.
Bilastine is commonly used to treat conditions like seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and chronic urticaria (hives). By preventing the action of histamine, it helps relieve symptoms associated with these conditions. Bilastine is typically taken once a day, and it does not cause significant sedative effects like older antihistamines. It is generally well-tolerated, with mild side effects such as headaches or dizziness in some cases.
