BISALATIN M 

Bilastine & Montelukast 

BISALATIN M is a combination medication containing Bilastine and Montelukast. It is commonly prescribed for the management of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. This comprehensive guide provides essential information about BISALATIN M, including its uses, dosage, side effects, precautions, and more.

What is BISALATIN M?

BISALATIN M combines two active ingredients: Bilastine, an antihistamine, and Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist. Together, they work effectively to treat allergy symptoms and prevent asthma attacks by targeting different pathways in the allergic response.

Uses of BISALATIN M

1. Allergic Rhinitis

• Symptom Relief: BISALATIN M is effective in relieving symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including sneezing, runny nose, itching, and nasal congestion.
• Seasonal and Perennial Allergies: It can be used for both seasonal allergies (hay fever) and year-round (perennial) allergies.

2. Asthma

• Asthma Management: Montelukast in BISALATIN M helps manage chronic asthma by preventing asthma attacks and improving breathing.
• Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction: It can also be used to prevent breathing difficulties during exercise.

3. Chronic Urticaria

• Hives and Itching: Bilastine is effective in treating chronic urticaria (hives) by reducing itching and the appearance of hives.

How BISALATIN M Works

1. Bilastine

Bilastine is a second-generation antihistamine that works by blocking histamine H1 receptors. Histamine is a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms. By blocking its effects, Bilastine helps reduce symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose.

2. Montelukast

Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking leukotrienes, which are chemicals in the body that contribute to inflammation and constriction of airways in asthma. By inhibiting these substances, Montelukast helps prevent asthma symptoms and improves airflow.

Dosage and Administration

1. Recommended Dosage

• Adults and Adolescents (12 years and older): The typical dose is one tablet of BISALATIN M once daily. The exact dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient's condition and response to treatment.
• Children (6 to 11 years): The dose may be adjusted based on the child’s weight and age. Consultation with a pediatrician is essential.

2. How to Take BISALATIN M

• Administration: BISALATIN M should be taken orally, once daily, preferably in the evening. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it on an empty stomach may enhance its absorption.
• Consistency: For the best results, take the medication at the same time each day.

Potential Side Effects

While BISALATIN M is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects. It is important to be aware of these potential adverse effects and consult a healthcare provider if they occur.

Common Side Effects

• Liver Issues: Symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, and severe abdominal pain should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.
