BASTIC 10

BASTIC 10

EBASTINE 10 & 20 MG TABLET

BASTIC contains Ebastine, a second-generation antihistamine that helps relieve symptoms caused by allergic reactions. Allergic reactions occur when the immune system overreacts to triggers such as pollen, dust, pet dander, or certain foods, which leads to the release of histamine. Histamine is a chemical that causes sneezing, runny or itchy nose, watery eyes, hives, and skin rashes. Ebastine works by blocking histamine at its receptor sites, preventing it from triggering these allergic symptoms. This helps reduce nasal congestion, eye irritation, skin itching, and hives, while being generally non-sedating, unlike first-generation antihistamines. Both 10 mg and 20 mg strengths are available, allowing your doctor to select the appropriate dose depending on your symptoms and response. Some patients may experience mild side effects such as headache, fatigue, dry mouth, or mild stomach discomfort, which usually resolve on their own. BASTIC is not a replacement for emergency allergy treatments like epinephrine in severe reactions.

BASTIC 10 mg and 20 mg are prescribed for the relief of allergy-related symptoms. This includes seasonal allergic rhinitis, which causes sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and watery eyes due to seasonal triggers like pollen. It is also effective for perennial allergic rhinitis, caused by dust, pet dander, or indoor allergens. BASTIC is used for urticaria (hives), which presents as itchy, red, or raised skin rashes resulting from allergic reactions. Under medical guidance, it may also help manage other mild allergic conditions such as minor swelling, itching, or irritation caused by insect bites or mild food allergies. By controlling these symptoms, BASTIC helps patients stay comfortable, improves sleep quality, and allows daily activities to continue without significant drowsiness.

The recommended dose of BASTIC depends on the patient’s age, health status, and doctor’s guidance. For BASTIC 10 mg, adults and children above 12 years are usually prescribed one tablet once daily, with or without food. Similarly, BASTIC 20 mg is generally taken as one tablet once daily for adults and children above 12 years, as advised by a doctor. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and should not be crushed, chewed, or broken. Elderly patients or those with liver or kidney impairment may require dose adjustments. BASTIC should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture, and always kept out of reach of children. Mild side effects such as headache, dry mouth, fatigue, sleepiness, or stomach discomfort may occur but are usually temporary. If these effects persist or worsen, patients should contact their doctor immediately.

Drug Warnings: BASTIC is intended for allergy management only. Patients with severe liver or kidney disease, heart conditions, or known hypersensitivity to Ebastine should consult their doctor before starting treatment. Avoid combining it with other sedating medications unless advised, as this may increase drowsiness.

Drug–Drug Interactions: Ebastine may interact with certain antifungal medications, antibiotics, or other drugs metabolized by the liver, which could affect its effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects. It is essential to inform your doctor about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal products being taken.

Drug–Food Interactions: BASTIC can be taken with or without food. Alcohol intake should be limited, as it may worsen drowsiness or dizziness.

Drug–Disease Interactions: Patients with liver or kidney impairment, heart conditions, or a history of prolonged QT interval should use BASTIC cautiously under medical supervision. Always share your complete medical history with your doctor to ensure safe and effective use of the medicine.
