The following medications may interfere with Ebastel; in these cases, it may be necessary to change the dose or discontinue treatment with one of them:

  • Ebastel may increase the effect of other medications used to treat allergies (antihistamines).
  • Ebastel should be used with caution in patients being treated with medications called ketoconazole and itraconazole, used to treat fungal infections, or with an antibiotic used to treat certain infections called erythromycin (as they may cause an alteration in your electrocardiogram).

No interactions have been described between ebastina and theophylline, warfarin, cimetidine, diazepam, and alcohol.
