What Experts Say

Ebastine is a second generation antihistamine that blocks histamine H1 receptors, the chemical responsible for sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and a runny nose during an allergic reaction. Blocking these receptors calms the allergic response fairly quickly after a single dose is taken.

Unlike older, first generation antihistamines, ebastine crosses into the brain only in small amounts, so it causes far less drowsiness and less interference with daily tasks for most people. Its effect lasts about 24 hours, which is why it is usually taken just once a day, often in the evening, with or without food.

Doctors may adjust the dose in people with liver problems, since ebastine is processed mainly by the liver into its active metabolite before it works. It is generally avoided together with certain heart rhythm medicines, and its safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding is still not fully established.
