Further Information
Bilastine (the active ingredient in Labixten) is a new oral highly selective H1-receptor antagonist developed for the symptomatic treatment of Allergic Rhinitis (Hayfever) and Urticaria (Hives).
 
It is an antiallergic agent whose main mechanism of action is the inhibition of immune system reactions mediated by the interaction of histamine on its H1-receptor.
 
Many but not all hypersensitivity and allergic reactions are mediated by histamine, such as asthma or anaphylactic reactions. However, those mostly dependent on the release of histamine can be inhibited by blocking the H1 receptor with specific antihistamine drugs such as Bilastine.
 
To achieve optimal efficacy, the affinity for the H1 receptor should be high. A high specificity for the H1 receptor potentially reduces unwanted side effects.
