Non-sedating antihistamines

Tebast 10 mg, a piperidine derivative, is a long-acting, nonsedating, second-generation histamine receptor antagonist that binds preferentially to peripheral H1 receptors. It is metabolised to active metabolite, carTebast 10 mg. It has antihistaminic, antiallergic activity and prevents histamine-induced bronchoconstriction. It does not have significant sedative or antimuscarinic actions.

Tablet: Adults (more than 12 years of age): 10 mg (one tablet) once daily. Children (6-12 years of age): 5 mg (half tablet) once daily.
