Product Details

About this item

Bilaxten 20mg Tablets contain the active ingredient Bilastine, a highly selective, non-sedating second-generation antihistamine. It is specifically formulated to provide rapid relief from allergy symptoms that lasts up to 24 hours with just one dose. Unlike older antihistamines, Bilastine has minimal penetrating effects on the central nervous system, meaning it is much less likely to cause drowsiness while still being highly effective. Bilaxten 20mg Tablets are a preferred treatment option for managing seasonal and perennial allergies, helping patients maintain normal daily activities without the debilitating effects of allergy symptoms or excessive fatigue.

How to Use

Dosage of Bilaxten 20mg Tablets

Bilaxten 20mg Tablets is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM).

Take as directed by the pharmacist or physician.

The standard adult and adolescent (12 years and older) dosage is one 20 mg tablet once daily.

Proper Administration

  • Route: Oral tablet.
  • How to Take: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew.
  • Timing: Take your dose once a day at approximately the same time each day. Crucially, the tablet must be taken one hour before you eat or drink, or two hours after you eat or drink (including fruit juices).
  • Duration: The duration of treatment depends on the type of allergy and is determined by your doctor.

Missed Dose Guidance

  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.
  • Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. Simply continue with your next scheduled dose.

Pharmacist's Advice

Contraindications of Bilaxten 20mg Tablets

Do NOT take Bilaxten 20mg Tablets if you:

  • Have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Bilastine or any other ingredient in the tablets.
  • Have severe kidney impairment (renal failure), as dose adjustment may be necessary or use may be contraindicated.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Warnings

  • Pregnancy: Consult your doctor. Limited data is available on the use of Bilaxten 20mg Tablets during pregnancy. Use should only be considered if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk, and under strict medical advice.
  • Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor. It is not known whether Bilastine passes into breast milk. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breastfeeding or discontinue the medicine, considering the benefit to the mother.

Side Effects of Bilaxten 20mg Tablets

Bilaxten is generally known for its low incidence of sedation compared to older antihistamines.

  • Common Side Effects (Mild and Expected): Headache, drowsiness (somnolence, though generally mild), dizziness, and fatigue.
  • Serious but Rare Side Effects (that may require medical attention):
    • Severe Allergic Reactions: Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or severe generalized rash.
    • Cardiac Effects: Rarely, palpitations or changes in ECG readings (especially in those with existing heart conditions).

What to do if side effects occur:

  • For common side effects like mild headache or drowsiness, continue use but monitor carefully.
  • For any signs of a serious allergic reaction or rapid/irregular heartbeat, stop the medication immediately and seek emergency medical attention.

Precautions and Warnings of Bilaxten 20mg Tablets

  • Kidney Impairment: If you have moderate to severe kidney problems, consult your doctor before taking this medication, as the dose may need to be reduced.
  • Avoid Fruit Juice: Bilaxten 20mg Tablets must NOT be taken with grapefruit juice or any other fruit juices (e.g., orange, apple, grape), as they can significantly reduce the absorption and effectiveness of Bilastine.
  • Food and Timing: To ensure maximum absorption, the tablet must be taken one hour before or two hours after consuming food or fruit juice.
  • Alcohol: While Bilastine itself does not significantly increase the effects of alcohol, caution is always advised.
  • Driving and Operating Machinery: Although non-sedating, individual response varies. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
