Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Rupatadine Fumarate equivalent to Rupatadine 10 mg

Therapeutic Class

Second-generation antihistamine
Anti-allergic agent

Pharmacology

Rupatadine is a selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist with additional platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonistic properties. Histamine and PAF are key mediators involved in allergic inflammation. By blocking H1 receptors, rupatadine effectively reduces symptoms such as itching, sneezing, rhinorrhea, and urticaria. Its PAF antagonism further contributes to controlling inflammatory responses associated with allergic conditions.

Rupatadine has minimal penetration into the central nervous system, which significantly reduces the risk of sedation compared to first-generation antihistamines. After oral administration, it is rapidly absorbed and extensively metabolized in the liver, providing sustained anti-allergic effects with once-daily dosing.

• Seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis

• Chronic idiopathic urticaria

• Sneezing and nasal itching
