What Experts Say

Ebastine blocks histamine, the chemical released during an allergic reaction that causes sneezing, itching and a runny nose. This relieves allergy symptoms effectively.

As a second generation antihistamine, it is long acting and rarely causes drowsiness, so most people can take it once daily and continue their normal activities. It suits both hay fever and chronic hives.

It controls symptoms well in Pakistan's dusty, high pollen conditions. It is generally well tolerated, though it should be used with care alongside certain heart rhythm medicines.
