Ebastine belongs to a group of medications called antihistamines (anti-allergics).

You should consult a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after 7 days.

Taking Ebastine Teva Group with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

The medications listed below may interfere with ebastine; in these cases, it may be necessary to change the dose or interrupt treatment with one of them:

  • Ebastine may increase the effect of other medications used to treat allergies (antihistamines).
  • Ebastine 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 the electrocardiogram).
  • The antihistamine effect of ebastine may be reduced in patients being treated with a medication called rifampicin, used to treat tuberculosis.

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

Interference with diagnostic tests
