Introduction

BISALATIN SYP is an antihistamine used to treat various allergic conditions. It contains Bilastine, an active ingredient known for its ability to block histamine receptors in the body. Bilastine is a second-generation antihistamine, which means it is designed to alleviate allergic symptoms without causing drowsiness or sedation, a common side effect of older antihistamines.

BISALATIN SYP is primarily used to manage allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and urticaria (hives). The oral solution form makes it particularly useful for children and adults who prefer or require liquid medication instead of tablets or capsules.

This medication has become an essential option in treating seasonal allergies, allergic reactions to pollen, dust, mold, and animal dander, as well as skin conditions like hives, offering relief from itching, redness, and swelling.

Key Ingredients

• Bilastine (2.5mg): The primary active ingredient in BISALATIN SYP, Bilastine is a second-generation antihistamine that selectively blocks H1 receptors involved in allergic reactions. By doing so, it prevents the action of histamine, a substance that plays a central role in causing allergy symptoms such as swelling, itching, and congestion.

• Excipients: Other ingredients in the solution include stabilizers, preservatives, and flavoring agents that ensure the stability, taste, and effectiveness of the oral solution.

Key Benefits

1. Effective Allergy Relief: BISALATIN SYP provides rapid relief from a wide range of allergic symptoms. Whether you're dealing with seasonal allergic rhinitis or allergic reactions to specific triggers, this medication can significantly reduce itching, nasal congestion, and sneezing.

2. Non-Drowsy Formula: As a second-generation antihistamine, Bilastine is designed to have minimal sedative effects. Unlike first-generation antihistamines, BISALATIN SYP typically does not cause drowsiness, making it ideal for daily use without impairing concentration or causing daytime fatigue.

3. Versatile Treatment for Urticaria: BISALATIN SYP is also effective in treating urticaria (hives). The medication helps reduce the appearance of red, itchy welts and other skin reactions that occur due to allergic responses.

4. Convenient Oral Solution: The liquid form of BISALATIN SYP makes it an excellent choice for people who have difficulty swallowing tablets or for young children who require an easier form of medication. The measured dosage ensures accurate and consistent treatment.

5. Quick Onset of Action: Bilastine works quickly to relieve symptoms, often providing noticeable improvement within one hour of administration. Its effects last for up to 24 hours, providing long-lasting relief with a single dose.

How Does BISALATIN SYP Work?

BISALATIN SYP works by blocking the H1 histamine receptors in the body. Histamine is a chemical that is released during allergic reactions and causes symptoms like itching, redness, swelling, and nasal congestion.

By preventing histamine from binding to its receptors, Bilastine helps to alleviate these symptoms. As a second-generation antihistamine, Bilastine does not cross the blood-brain barrier to a significant extent, thus minimizing the sedative effects commonly associated with older antihistamines.

This makes BISALATIN SYP a safer and more effective option for treating allergic conditions without the risk of drowsiness or other central nervous system side effects.

Directions for Use

BISALATIN SYP is easy to administer, especially for individuals who prefer a liquid form. Here’s how to use the solution:

1. For Children (6 months to 11 years):

   • The usual dose is 1.25 mg (half of the 2.5 mg dose) taken once daily. The dosage should be adjusted according to the child’s age and weight as per the physician's recommendation.

2. For Adults and Children Over 12 Years:

   • The standard dosage is 2.5 mg (1 teaspoon) taken once daily. It is recommended to take BISALATIN SYP on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals for optimal absorption.

3. For Elderly Individuals:

   • Typically, no dose adjustment is necessary for elderly patients unless there are existing renal impairments. However, it's always best to follow a healthcare professional's guidance.

Side Effects

As with any medication, BISALATIN SYP may cause some side effects. While it is generally well-tolerated, the following side effects have been reported:

1. Common Side Effects:

   • Headache: Some people may experience headaches, although this is usually mild.

   • Drowsiness: Although BISALATIN SYP is designed to be non-sedating, some individuals may still feel slightly drowsy.

   • Dry Mouth: A dry mouth can occur, though it is generally mild and temporary.

2. Less Common but Serious Side Effects:

   • Severe Allergic Reactions: Rarely, a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) may occur. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, and dizziness. Seek medical attention immediately if these symptoms appear.

   • Fast or Irregular Heartbeat: This is a rare side effect but can occur in some people, especially those with pre-existing heart conditions.

3. Interaction with Other Medications:

   • BISALATIN SYP may interact with certain medications, particularly those affecting the liver or kidney. Always inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.

Precautions

Before using BISALATIN SYP, consider the following precautions:

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The safety of Bilastine during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established. It should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed and under a doctor's advice.

• Kidney or Liver Conditions: Patients with impaired kidney or liver function should use BISALATIN SYP with caution and under medical supervision. Dosage adjustments may be necessary.

• Avoid Alcohol: Although Bilastine does not typically cause drowsiness, consuming alcohol alongside this medication may increase the risk of side effects like dizziness or drowsiness.

Price of BISALATIN SYP

The price of BISALATIN SYP may vary depending on the country, location, and pharmacy. In India, the price for a 100ml bottle of BISALATIN SYP is typically in the range of ₹200 to ₹400. However, prices can fluctuate due to local taxes, retailer pricing, and discounts. Always consult with a local pharmacy for the most accurate pricing.
