1. What is Bactil and what is it used for

Bactil belongs to a group of medicines called antihistamines (antiallergics).

Bactil is indicated for the relief of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (sneezing, nasal itching, nasal discharge, nasal congestion, and red and watery eyes) and urticaria (hives) that occur with mild symptoms, in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age.

You should consult a doctor if it worsens or does not improve after 7 days.

2. What you need to know before taking Bactil

Do not take Bactil

  • if you are allergic to ebastine or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Bactil:

  • if your electrocardiogram results are altered.
  • if you have high potassium levels in your blood.
  • if you suffer from severe liver disease (see "How to take Bactil").
  • if you are being treated with a type of medicine used to treat fungal infections called azole antifungals or with medicines used to treat certain infections called macrolide antibiotics (see "Taking Bactil with other medicines").
  • if you are being treated with rifampicin, a type of medicine used to treat tuberculosis.

Do not use this medicine if you have an acute allergic emergency, as ebastine (the active ingredient of this medicine) takes 1 to 3 hours to take effect.

In case you experience symptoms such as throat tightness, difficulty breathing, hoarseness, or difficulty speaking, wheezing, low blood pressure, repeated vomiting, and/or loss of consciousness, you should seek urgent medical attention due to the risk of anaphylaxis.

Children

Bactil should not be administered to children under 12 years of age.

Taking Bactil with other medicines

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

Especially if you are being treated with any of the medicines mentioned below, as it may be necessary to change the dose or interrupt treatment with any of them:

  • medicines used to treat allergies (antihistamines) because Bactil may increase their effect.
  • ketoconazole and itraconazole, used to treat fungal infections, or erythromycin, an antibiotic used to treat certain infections, as they may cause an alteration in your electrocardiogram.
  • rifampicin, used to treat tuberculosis, as it may decrease the antihistamine effect of Bactil.

Interference with diagnostic tests

Bactil 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 Bactil with food and drinks

Taking the medicine with food or drinks does not affect its efficacy.

Pregnancy

There is limited data on the use of the medicine in pregnant women. As a precaution, it is recommended to avoid the use of Bactil during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding
