BILASTIN AL 20 MG TABLETTEN

Allergy tablets with 24-hour effect
• For the relief of allergic symptoms in the eyes and nose as well as itchy skin rashes
• For hay fever, year-round allergic rhinitis and hives
• With the proven active ingredient Bilastine
• Less likely to cause drowsiness
• take once daily
• For adults and adolescents from 12 years of age

Long-lasting relief from allergy symptoms
Frequent sneezing, a stuffy or runny nose, itchy and burning eyes – when pollen flies in the spring and summer, these bothersome symptoms are all too familiar to many people with hay fever.But not all allergies are seasonal: Allergens such as house dust mites or animal dander can cause unpleasant symptoms in the nose, eyes, and skin throughout the year.
The best way to deal with allergies is to avoid contact with the triggers.However, this is not always possible in daily life.This is where BILASTIN AL 20 mg can offer effective support: The medication with the proven active ingredient Bilastine is used for the symptomatic treatment of hay fever, other forms of allergic rhinitis, and hives (urticaria).This modern antihistamine is less likely to cause drowsiness and works for 24 hours.If needed, one tablet a day is sufficient to specifically relieve the typical symptoms.Suitable for adults and adolescents from 12 years of age.

Modern antihistamine with the active ingredient bilastine
Bilastine is a second-generation antihistamine that specifically targets histamine-1 receptors.Histamine is a messenger substance produced by the body that is released during allergic reactions and causes typical symptoms such as swelling of the mucous membranes, sneezing fits, itching, or skin rashes.By blocking these receptors, bilastine prevents the development of allergic symptoms.
Unlike first-generation antihistamines, the active ingredient in BILASTIN AL 20 mg causes little to no sedative effect.The active ingredient bilastine was deregulated from prescription status in 2022. Modern allergy treatment is therefore available without a prescription in your pharmacy.

ANWENDUNGSHINWEISE
Always use this medicine exactly as described in the package leaflet or as advised by your doctor.Do not exceed the recommended dosage and duration of use.

EMPFOHLENE DOSIERUNG
• Unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor, adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older should take 1 tablet BILASTIN AL 20 mg daily, swallowed whole with a glass of water, during the period of symptoms.
• The tablet should be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating or drinking fruit juice.

DAUER DER ANWENDUNG
The duration of treatment depends on the type of allergy.Please ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Tips for hay fever
A simple test performed by an allergist can determine which tree and flower pollens you are allergic to.A look at the pollen calendar shows when the pollen count is particularly high.During this time, hay fever sufferers should spend as little time outdoors as possible and keep windows closed.
Ventilating is recommended in the city in the early morning, and in the countryside in the evening.It is also helpful to wash your hair before going to bed and not to keep worn clothes in the bedroom.
In case of high pollen exposure, an antihistamine such as BILASTIN AL 20 mg can help alleviate hay fever symptoms.

For house dust allergy
With a house dust allergy, sufferers react to the excretions of house dust mites – tiny creatures that prefer to live in beds, upholstered furniture, and carpets.
To reduce allergen exposure, frequent ventilation and cleaning, washing bedding at a minimum of 60 degrees Celsius, and the use of mite-proof covers for mattresses, blankets, and pillows are recommended. Avoid carpets and dust collectors as much as possible; using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA-filter is recommended.
If these measures are insufficient, an antihistamine such as BILASTIN AL 20 mg can help relieve allergy symptoms.

For hives
Hives (urticaria) manifests as sudden wheals, redness, and intense itching.The rash occurs in many types of allergies but can also be triggered by stimuli such as heat and cold, certain foods, and stress.
To better understand the circumstances that trigger skin reactions, keeping a symptom diary is recommended.To minimize skin irritation, it is advisable to wear loose-fitting clothing and use mild, unscented skincare products.
BILASTIN AL 20 mg tablets are also approved for the treatment of hives.The antihistamine lasts for 24 hours and causes less drowsiness.

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
Why shouldn't BILASTIN AL 20 mg be taken with fruit juice?
