ILAXTEN, known generically as bilastine, is a non-sedating antihistamine used to alleviate symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (including hay fever) and urticaria (hives). As a second-generation antihistamine, it is designed to minimize drowsiness and cognitive impairment, making it more suitable for individuals who need to maintain alertness while managing their allergy symptoms. ILAXTEN works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms such as itching, swelling, and rashes. It is typically taken orally and is noted for its rapid onset of action and long-lasting effect, providing relief that can help improve the quality of life for those affected by seasonal or perennial allergies.
