Bilastine is a second-generation non-sedating antihistamine used for the symptomatic treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. It selectively antagonizes peripheral H1 receptors and has little to no affinity for central nervous system receptors, causing minimal drowsiness. Bilastine is approved and used in various countries for the relief of allergy symptoms.
Single-dose 20 mg oral bilastine in healthy adult volunteers, both sexes, age range 18-55 years.
