The symptoms of these allergic reactions are sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, skin rashes, redness of the eyes. Ebastine does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier to a significant amount. This reduces the combined effectiveness in blocking the H1 receptor in peripheral tissue with a low incidence of central side effects. Thus Ebastine, seldom causing sedation or drowsiness. As a second-generation H1 receptor antagonist, it is mainly for treating allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria.

How does Ebastine Work?

Ebastine and its active metabolite is a selective peripheral histamine H1 receptor antagonist. This antagonism in action prevents histamine from attaching to receptors and its activation of receptors of histamine on various tissues gives rise to allergic symptoms like a Runny nose. Ebastine specifically targets Th2-type cytokine production for inhibition. Through this mechanism, it inhibits T cell migration and pro-inflammatory cytokine production by T cells and macrophages. As a piperidine derivative, it has a long-acting effect and is non-sedating. As a second-generation histamine receptor antagonist, it binds preferentially to peripheral H1 receptors. Ebastine has antihistaminic, antiallergic actions to prevent histamine-induced bronchoconstriction.
