WHAT BILAXTEN IS USED FOR
Bilaxten
is
used
to
relieve
the
symptoms
of
hayfever
(sneezing,
itchy, runny, blocked-up nose and red
and watery eyes) and other forms of
allergic rhinitis. It may also be used
to treat itchy skin rashes (hives or
urticaria).
HOW BILAXTEN WORKS
Bilaxten contains the active substance
bilastine which is an antihistamine.
Bilastine is a non-drowsy, long-acting
antihistamine
that
helps
to
relieve
symptoms
of
allergy
such
as
sneezing,
tearing
and
itching.
It
blocks
the
effects
of
histamine,
a
chemical substance produced by the
body
in
response
to
foreign
substances which the body is allergic
to.

to
your
doctor
or
pharmacist
before using Bilaxten if your child

renal
or
hepatic impairment or if your child is
taking other medicines.
_- Taking other medicines _
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if your
child is taking, has recently taken or
might
take
any
other
medicines,
including medicines obtained without
a
prescription.
Some
medicines
should
not
be
taken
together
and
others
may
need
their
doses
to
be
altered when taken together.
Always

your
doctor
or
pharmacist if your child is using or

any
of
the
following

Posology
_Paediatric population _
Children 6 to 11 years of age with a body weight of at least 20 kg
10 mg bilastine (1 orodispersible tablet) once daily for the relief of
symptoms of allergic rhino-
conjunctivitis (seasonal allergic rhinitis and perennial allergic
rhinitis) and urticaria.
The orodispersible tablet should be taken one hour before or two hours
after intake of food or fruit
juice (see section 4.5).
Children under 6 years of age and under 20 kg
Currently available data are described in section 4.4, 4.8, 5.1 and
5.2 but no recommendation on a
posology can be made. Therefore bilastine should not be used in this
age group.
In adults and adolescents (over 12 years of age) the administration of
bilastine 20 mg tablets is
appropriate.
Duration of treatment:
For allergic rhino-conjunctivitis the treatment should be limited to
the period of exposure to
allergens. For seasonal allergic rhinitis treatment could be
discontinued after the symptoms have
resolved and reinitiated upon their reappearance. In perennial
allergic rhinitis continued treatment
may be proposed to the patients during the allergen exposure periods.
For urticaria the duration of
treatment depends on the type, duration and course of the complaints.
