What Experts Say

Ebastine is a second generation antihistamine used to calm the itching, sneezing and watery eyes caused by seasonal and year round allergies. The 10mg tablet is the standard starting dose recommended for most adults and adolescents over 12 years, offering effective symptom relief with a low chance of sedation.

Unlike first generation antihistamines, ebastine at this dose rarely causes the drowsiness or dry mouth that many older allergy tablets are known for. It works by blocking histamine at H1 receptors in the nose, eyes and skin, reducing the swelling, redness and itch that come with allergic rhinitis and hives. Most people notice relief within one to two hours of taking the tablet.

Doctors typically start treatment at 10mg once daily and only move to the higher 20mg strength if symptoms stay severe after a few days. This stepwise approach limits unnecessary exposure to higher doses while still giving the medicine a fair trial. The orodispersible formulation also makes the 10mg tablet convenient for patients who have trouble swallowing standard tablets.
