Taking Ebastel Forte Flas with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medicine.

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

  • Ebastel Forte Flas may increase the effect of other medicines used to treat allergies (antihistamines).
  • Ebastel Forte Flas should be used with caution in patients taking medicines 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).
  • The antihistamine effect of Ebastel Forte Flas may be reduced in patients taking a medicine called rifampicin used to treat tuberculosis.

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

Interference with diagnostic tests

Ebastel Forte Flas may interfere with the results of skin allergy tests, so it is recommended not to perform them until 5-7 days after stopping treatment.

Taking Ebastel Forte Flas with food and drinks

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Pregnancy

There is no experience in pregnant women, so it is recommended to consult with a doctor before taking Ebastel Forte Flas. The doctor will decide whether or not to start treatment.
