1. What is Ebastine ratiopharm and what is it used for

Ebastine is an antihistamine that helps to relieve the symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes and itchy skin rashes.

In adults and children of 12 years and older, Ebastine ratiopharm is used to relieve the symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, including cases with allergic conjunctivitis.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you take Ebastine ratiopharm

Do not take Ebastine ratiopharm

If you are allergic to ebastine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before taking Ebastine ratiopharm if:

  • you have low levels of potassium in your blood.
  • you are already taking certain antibiotics or medicines used to treat fungal infections: see the section "Taking Ebastine ratiopharm with other medicines" below.
  • you have severe liver function disorders (liver failure).

Ebastine may cause dry mouth. Therefore, during prolonged treatment with ebastine, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene (you should brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste) to reduce the risk of tooth decay.

Children and adolescents

This medicine should only be taken by children from 12 years of age. Do not give to children under 12 years of age since the safety and efficacy have not been established in this age group.

Taking Ebastine ratiopharm with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.

Taking Ebastine ratiopharm at the same time as erythromycin (an antibiotic) or ketoconazole, itraconazole (active substances for the treatment of fungal infections), may lead to higher levels of ebastine in the blood.

Taking ebastine at the same time as rifampicin (a medicine against tuberculosis) may lead to lower levels of ebastine in the blood, resulting in a reduction of the effects.

It is not recommended to use Ebastine ratiopharm at the same time as clarithromycin or josamycin (antibiotics).

Taking Ebastine ratiopharm with food and drinks

You can take Ebastine ratiopharm with or without food.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

Up to now, the existing experience regarding safety for the fetus in humans is limited. For this reason, you should only take this medicine during pregnancy if your doctor considers that the expected benefit outweighs the possible risks.

Do not take Ebastine ratiopharm if you are breast-feeding since it is not known whether the active substance passes into breast milk.

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Driving and using machines

Most patients treated with Ebastine ratiopharm can drive or perform other activities that require a good reaction ability. However, as with other medicines, you should check your individual reaction after taking Ebastine ratiopharm before driving or performing complex activities, since some patients experience drowsiness or dizziness.

Ebastine ratiopharm contains aspartame

This medicine contains 5 mg of aspartame in each tablet.

Aspartame is a source of phenylalanine, which may be harmful for people with phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder in which phenylalanine accumulates because the body is unable to eliminate it properly.

Ebastine ratiopharm contains lactose

If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to some sugars, consult with them before taking this medicine.

Ebastine ratiopharm contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per tablet; this is essentially "sodium-free".
