What Experts Say

Ebastine blocks histamine H1 receptors, the sites histamine attaches to when it triggers sneezing, itching, and a runny nose during an allergic reaction. Because it does not easily cross into the brain the way older antihistamines do, it causes far less drowsiness for most people at the recommended dose.

Allergists and dermatologists often recommend it for both seasonal nasal allergies and chronic hives, since it can be taken for weeks or months without the sedation that limits older antihistamines. It is usually taken once a day, and effects on itching and sneezing are typically noticeable within an hour.

Dust, smoke, and sudden changes in weather commonly trigger allergy flare-ups, and many people simply reach for whatever antihistamine is available rather than one suited to their symptoms. Taking it regularly during allergy season, rather than only when symptoms are already severe, tends to control sneezing and itching more effectively. Anyone on heart medicines or with an irregular heartbeat should mention this before starting a new antihistamine.
