BISALATIN 10 DT 

Bilastine Dipersible (10mg)

BISALATIN 10 DT, is a second-generation antihistamine used to treat allergic symptoms. This medication is particularly effective for managing conditions such as allergic rhinitis and urticaria. This comprehensive guide explores the uses, dosage, side effects, and essential considerations associated with BISALATIN 10 DT.

Uses of BISALATIN 10 DT

Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis

BISALATIN 10 DT is primarily indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, which includes both seasonal and perennial allergies. Allergic rhinitis is characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itching. Bilastine works by blocking histamine receptors, thereby preventing the allergic response and alleviating symptoms.

Management of Chronic Urticaria

BISALATIN 10 DT is also effective in treating chronic urticaria, a condition characterized by persistent, itchy hives on the skin. By inhibiting histamine action, Bilastine reduces itching and swelling associated with urticaria, providing relief to patients.

Use in Pediatric Patients

BISALATIN 10 DT is particularly suitable for pediatric patients due to its dispersible form, which makes administration easier for children who may have difficulty swallowing tablets. This makes it a preferred choice for managing allergic symptoms in younger patients.

Dosage and Administration

Recommended Dosage

The typical recommended dosage of BISALATIN 10 DT for adults and children aged 12 years and older is 10 mg once daily. For children aged 6 to 11 years, the dose may vary based on body weight and specific medical advice from a healthcare provider.

Administration Instructions

BISALATIN 10 DT is designed to be taken orally. The dispersible tablet should be dissolved in a small amount of water before ingestion. It can be taken with or without food, although it is best to take it on an empty stomach for optimal absorption. Consistency in the timing of doses is important to maintain stable blood levels of the medication.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

• Headache: Headache is a commonly reported side effect of BISALATIN 10 DT.
• Drowsiness: Although less sedative compared to first-generation antihistamines, some patients may still experience drowsiness.
• Abdominal Pain: Some patients may experience mild abdominal discomfort.

Serious Side Effects

• Allergic Reactions: Severe allergic reactions to Bilastine are rare but can occur. Symptoms may include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing. Immediate medical attention is required if these symptoms occur.
• QT Prolongation: Bilastine may cause a condition that affects heart rhythm (QT prolongation). Symptoms of serious heart problems include fast/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, and fainting.

Managing Side Effects

Patients experiencing side effects should consult their healthcare provider. In many cases, side effects may diminish over time as the body adjusts to the medication. If side effects are severe or persistent, the healthcare provider may adjust the dosage or suggest an alternative treatment.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

The safety of BISALATIN 10 DT during pregnancy has not been fully established. It should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Women who are breastfeeding should also consult their healthcare provider before using this medication, as it is not known whether Bilastine passes into breast milk.

Drug Interactions

BISALATIN 10 DT can interact with other medications, potentially altering their effects or increasing the risk of side effects. Patients should provide a complete list of all medications they are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to their healthcare provider.
