Eba P 10mg/10mg Tablet

Introduction

Eba P is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: Ebastine and Phenylephrine. Ebastine is an antihistamine that helps relieve symptoms associated with allergies, such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing congestion and swelling.

Uses

Eba P is primarily prescribed to treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including seasonal allergies and perennial allergic rhinitis. It provides relief from symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itching, and runny nose caused by allergies.

Dosage and Administration

• The recommended dosage for adults and children above 12 years of age is one tablet taken orally, once a day.
• follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional regarding the dosage and duration of treatment.
• Eba P should be taken with or without food, as directed by your healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

Ebastine, one of the active ingredients in Eba P, works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms. By inhibiting histamine, Ebastine helps reduce sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion.

Phenylephrine, the other active ingredient, constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages. This action helps relieve nasal congestion by reducing swelling and improving airflow.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, and dizziness. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

However, if you experience any serious side effects such as fast or irregular heartbeat, difficulty urinating, or severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling), seek immediate medical attention.

Certain medications may interact with Eba P, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Some examples of medications that may interact with Eba P include:

• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
